Not a question the majority of people have to even consider.... But one I've been faced with this last week or so as we've just moved house and while putting things away it's been a balancing act trying to find places I can reach sharp/breakable/tearable/destructable object which means my toddler, who is well up to my chest height now, can't reach them!
It would help if he wasn't bright but [thankfully] he is and so even when I've found cupboards he can't quite reach the handle for or drawers he can't quite reach into he quickly works out that standing on one of the various steps scattered around will do the trick.
The bottom line is that he has to learn that some things are out of bounds and that is no bad thing, who wants a kid who thinks they can do what they like or have whatever they want all the time anyway?

Wonderful and insightful blog. My best friend's son has achondroplasia and I will send this her way.
Wishing you well,
Deb
