A relationship expert says parents should get their child’s permission before changing a nappy.
People have opinions. That’s one thing we know for sure. Some people will even try to be as loud as possible when they say that, even though not many people are listening.
The Internet really makes it simple for anyone to have this thought and share it with the whole world. It’s funny how opinions that aren’t common seem to get more attention.
That’s what one expert is going through right now because of their strange advice for kids. They say they know a lot about relationships and said parents should ask for permission before changing a baby’s nappy.
We understand that consent has a lot of problems these days, and it can be hard to figure them all out. Many parents, though, think it’s rude to ask a baby’s permission before changing a dirty nappy.
I think most parents don’t like having to change diapers, but it’s something that has to be done if you want to raise healthy and happy kids. To make things even more complicated, you should have to ask approval first.
The person who said this is a “sexuality educator, speaker, and author.” Her name is Deanne Carson, and her strange advice for parents is getting a lot of attention.
In 2018, she went on ABC to talk about these ideas. A lot of the time, this is done with kids older than three, but she thinks that permission should be taught to kids much younger.
Although she agrees that babies won’t be able to speak back when asked for permission, they should be able to communicate without words by making eye contact and using other body language.
She says it has to do with making sure everyone in the family agrees that changing the baby’s nappy is okay before doing it.
Carson explained the process in more detail, saying that parents and toddlers can talk to each other more deeply if they give each other a moment to wait and watch for any nonverbal signs.
The way the writers responded to the idea might have been the most interesting part. The kids talked a lot and were also thinking about what would happen if the baby said no.
