I wonder if others have had similar experiences to the following.
My eldest daughter used to cry if she heard a power tool. My workshop was complertely detached from and about 10 yards from the house. This passed when she was about a year old. After that the problem was keeping her out of the shop.
My other 2 daughters were unfazed by any tool noise.
Now my 14 month old grandson (eldest daughter's) if frightened by tool noise in his vicinity. This even holds true for a cordless screwdriver and drill which are the only tools I use if he is around. And yet he will "steal" the screwdriver, run off with it and try to operate it. I have started to remove the bit whenever I put the tool down.
I would be interested to hear if anybody has had similar experiences.
