There is a third way: be a little more rational, and resist the pressure
to join in the mass hysteria.

For heaven's sake, a child of 3 can just walk out of a shallow pond 18"
deep! The risk is MUCH lower than not LOCKING up all of the household
chemicals and many cooking supplies and carrying the key on your person.
Children of 3 are quite intelligent enough to drag chairs to climb up
on the chair backs to reach top shelves.
