An expert advises parents to get their baby’s permission before changing their diapers

“I agree with Deanne Carson,” writes another. Talking to your infant is simple. It’s simple to establish a consenting environment at home. Even if the topic isn’t solely about consent, most people feel that it’s beneficial to be aware of and talk to babies.

The decision to “ask” for consent may ultimately depend on personal comfort levels and parenting philosophies. Asking for permission is just one more approach for some parents to develop a loving, respectful relationship with their children; for others, it may be sufficient to merely interact, pay attention, and meet their baby’s needs.
