7. 2 year olds are scientists and perhaps too early cognitively to conceptualize privacy

After all, a two year old's privacy is transgressed multiple times a day, of necessity.

Two year olds are scientists exploring a new world, testing things for sounds, seeing what happens when something breaks, discovering that people have reactions when you open doors, heck, they are just beginning to get a grip on the "Door" concept.

On the flip side, the reactions need to be measured because, hey two years old, but there need to be reactions or else how are they going to learn the meaning of it and learn the way self-respecting humans behave.

Notice I didn't tell you what to do other than treat a toddler with respect while doing whatever you decide to do. :smirk:
