Expert Deanne Carson suggests parents ask babies for permission before changing their diapers to promote a culture of consent. While babies can’t respond verbally, Carson emphasizes using non-verbal cues like eye contact to show their reactions matter.
This idea has sparked debate, with critics questioning its practicality and arguing that babies are too young to understand consent.
Some also feel parents should focus on practical needs rather than theoretical concepts, especially with infants.
In another controversial parenting stance, expert John Rosemond argued that high-fives can undermine respect between parents and children.
