    • you have to keep the small toys away from db entirely. keep them in older dc's room, or in a special box that only older dc can open, have older dc play with them at the table where db can't reach, or in his room.

      • ditto. I kept the small stuff separate and older dc could play in her room alone or at the dining room table.

        • OP: Have tried dd playing at the dining table, but it only works for small amounts of time, and for crafty things. Trains, blocks, etc. too hard. String guitar she can't play with because he just gets upset

    • I only keep toys that are safe for him to play with around when he's awake.

    • Why is the little one not allowed to touch the toys? Small parts? Honestly, I pretty much got rid of all toys with small parts for a while until the little one got bigger. Or I had the older one play with the tosy with small parts on the dining room ta ble. I think it's too hard to do it the way yoou are doingit.

      • OP: Well, part of the problem is that they share a room, so basically there is no "my room and my stuff" sort of thing, so everything becomes fair game for db. He is very destructive, so, dd has a string guitar, we have things that are not even toys th he constantly wants to touch, dd gets very upset because she can't play with anything without db getting in the way and wanting to grab, destroy things.
