Default Toddler and laburnum

The message
from "Mike" contains these words:

How poisonous are these seeds? They do seem to get everywhere.
Would I be best off getting rid of the tree?


No.

(Obviously she isn't left to wander around the garden by herself,
but she does like shoving things in her mouth.)


It's your job to make sure she doesn't!


I had an acquaintance once who gave very definite answers like yours when it
came to the subject of controlling/teaching children. Both he and his wife
were in their 50's so knew right from wrong and what children should do and
what they should not do.


He and his wife had no children :-))


Well, the difference there would be that I not only had a laburnum tree
in my garden, I also have five children and thirteen grandchildren!

None of them ever attempted to eat laburnum seeds or pods, because
I *made it my job* to educate them as to what was dangerous in the
garden, and what was not!
