Australian expert Dean Carson, speaking on ABC News, said parents should ask their children for permission to change their diaper. Even if the baby can not answer them. His consent can be read through eye contact and gestures.
This caused a real storm in social networks. Many found this advice completely absurd. “And then what? Ask the dog for permission to take it with you for a walk? ”,“ The question is how long can the child be allowed to wallow in his own feces if he rejects your offer? ”,“ This is already beyond the scope of insanity! ”Commentators are quoted Facts.
Meanwhile, Carson and a number of her colleagues specializing in sex education, believe that, although this recommendation sounds strange, it is more important than it seems at first glance. Thus parents can help children not to become victims of intimate harassment in the future.
The child must understand that no one can touch his body without his consent. For this, the house should establish a so-called "culture of consent" from the very birth of the baby.
“One of every 12 girls is abused before she is six years old. Most of them become victims of family members or those whom the family trusts ... It is never too early to tell children how to take care of themselves, ”says Carson.
How to change the diaper correctly, according to Carson?
First you need to ask the baby if it is not against having a diaper changed, writes lifter.com.ua. Of course, he can not answer.
In this case, Carson advises using eye contact.
This is what you should tell your child every time: “Am I going to change your diaper? You do not mind?"
And it must be done from birth!
“Of course, the child will not answer:“ Come on, Mom! It's great! I would really like you to change my diaper. But if you look into the eyes of a child and wait for a non-verbal return response, then he will know that his opinion matters. ”
Users of social networks were discouraged by such tips:
"I'm not sure if I understood correctly, but I'm in shock."
“Absolute madness. World has gone mad".
