Today, I was reminded of the time my daughter “ran away” from home. She was about 2 years old. My husband and I were having a conversation and she wanted to go out to play. We said no…. but she snuck out the back sliding glass door anyway and made her way across the street to play on the neighbor’s swing set. We didn’t even know that she was gone until my neighbor discovered her and brought her home immediately. I never knew how to prevent my kids from opening the sliding glass door- it is so easy to do. But, there is a sliding glass door lock and adheres to the glass and prevents the door from being opened more than a few inches. I’ll definitely be getting those for both of our sliders. No doubt!
