Can't imagine anybody seeing safety measures as a negative. These are probably the same people that would say an accident was due to child neglect. I think multi-tasking is a myth. If you are trying to do two or more things at once you are not giving your full attention to anything. My son was on a self destruct mission from day one. He could climb before he could walk. We had to take him to emergency for stitches twice before he was three. You bet I used any and all methods to confine him when my back was turned.
