Never colour your hair like this or you could be mistaken for one of them.

:laugh:

It sounds odd but I can kind of get the reasoning. Teaching kids from a young age is vital around things like this and just like learning to speak you have to start when they don't understand, then they learn

[Marsh.]

Tbf, when you listen to her explanation it's not nearly as odd as it sounds.

It's just about communication from an early age.

Yep totally agree, the headline makes it sound totally ridiculous when what she's saying is actually very logical

[Crimson Dynamo]

so glad I dont do this anymore...

Just wait for the grandkids :hehe:

[Alf]

Don't worry! a baby will let you know that they need changing by either crying or smelling like a stink bomb. That line of communication has stood the test of time.

I think you're missing the point she's trying to make Alf.

:oh:

[Alf]

I think you're missing the point she's trying to make Alf.So what is her point?

[Niamh.]

So what is her point?

It's about starting to teach kids from a very young age about communication and consent, they don't really understand but then they don't understand you speaking to them either when they're babies so one could say that it's also stupid to speak to them because they don't understand you ...................but that's how they learn

I think she's wasting her time with fantasy, but is getting paid for it, so why would she stop?

[Beso]

The little ****s should be changing them themselves.

[Marsh.]

[Alf]

Not really the point being made though, is it?I don't think she has a point at all. She's just making up work for herself to earn a living.

[Tom4784]

Sensationalist headline that attempts to dash what is a very valid point. If you don't understand what she's saying, I'd advise reading the article, she explains her views quite clearly.

Who is saying she knows better than a parent for what's best for them though? It's a suggestion on how to teach them something from a young age, as a parent myself I think it makes sense :shrug:

[Marsh.]

I don't think she has a point at all. She's just making up work for herself to earn a living.Yes no point at all to teaching communication skills to children.

[user104658]

What do you do when they're 18m old and talking and have shat themselves and you say "I'm gonna change you is that OK?" and they say "NO!" and run away.

...:think:

[Alf]

Yes no point at all to teaching communication skills to children.Most people already do teach communication skills to children. What is the evidence that her way is better?

[Marsh.]

Who suggested anyway was better?

This is a suggestion about raising children with a good concept of consent, a specific type of communication. Skills is a plural word, there's more than one. So, your ire is a bit misplaced.

[Niamh.]

What do you do when they're 18m old and talking and have shat themselves and you say "I'm gonna change you is that OK?" and they say "NO!" and run away.

...:think:

:laugh2: Ok that's a pretty fair point.

[Cherie]

...:think:

was just going to post this, I'm all for teaching kids about keeping themselves safe but asking a babies permission to change a nappy is stretching it ...pun intended.

[Alf]

What do you do when they're 18m old and talking and have shat themselves and you say "I'm gonna change you is that OK?" and they say "NO!" and run away.

...:think:What do you do if they totally ignored you, do you take that as a yes or no?

[Marsh.]

What do you do when they're 18m old and talking and have shat themselves and you say "I'm gonna change you is that OK?" and they say "NO!" and run away.

...:think:

Then you move onto "I'm gonna slap your legs, ok?"

[Niamh.]

Then you move onto "I'm gonna slap your legs, ok?"

Surely not while there's poo in play :worry:. Talk about living life on the edge.

I am triggered by the use of 'Baby's' instead of 'Babies', please edit the title to ease my palpitations

[Alf]

I am triggered by the use of 'Baby's' instead of 'Babies', please edit the title to ease my palpitationsBabies suggest more than one. You'd only ask one baby at a time for permission. So I won't be editing.

[Niamh.]

Babies suggest more than one. You'd only ask one baby at a time for permission. So I won't be editing.

Then surely it should either be, "You should ask for the Baby's permission" or "You should ask the Baby for permission"? :think:

[Alf]

Ok, maybe I should edit to just baby

[Alf]

There, satisfied?

[Calderyon]

His/her hair is stupid.

[kirklancaster]

There is scientific evidence that the subconscious part of the brain receives ALL data and communications and files them.

Perhaps there is a method in what may seem madness.

[kirklancaster]

His/her hair is stupid.

:laugh:

[Calderyon]

Also why is this an issue for a "sexuality expert"?

I would think a Child nurturing/raising expert would be more appropriate?

Alf is this Crazy USA?

[smudgie]

Communication is great.
Talk to baby and say we are getting that nappy changed etc.
As to teaching consent from an early age...it can backfire:blush:
I told both my kids never to be frightened to say no if they were asked to do something they weren't happy with.
So, come sports day at primary school my very stubborn daughter told her teacher she wasn't doing it as she didn't want to, and that was just the start.:joker:

Teenage girls dont communicate anyway, they just flick thier hair and stare at phones when asked to do anything.

The mistake I made was not asking the parents. I've never been kicked out of a swimming baths so fast in my life.
