Do tell!


Alex was flying by the time he was six-months old. As his motor skills
developed, the headset became an issue (because he'd remove it).

So I gave him a David Clark (think: robust) as a toy. He'd wear it while
he rode his rocking plane (a "rocking horse" in the shape of a plane
instead of the four-footed-non-aviating-beast-of-transport) and played
with his toy yoke.

After a while of that, he wouldn't want the headset removed much less take
it off himself in flight.

P.S. The DC headset survived.
