on promoting a consent-based culture in early childhood during an appearance on ABC. Although she usually works with kids three years old and above on consent-related topics,
she stressed how important it is to introduce these ideas to kids much younger. While it goes without saying that a baby cannot answer vocally,
Carson emphasized the significance of nonverbal cues, especially maintaining eye contact, in communicating the idea that a child’s response counts.
She clarified in a section on consent legislation, saying, “We start working with kids as early as three years old. From birth, we collaborate with parents.” Because of this unorthodox method, a reporter asked: “From birth?”
Carson replied with conviction: “Yes, just about how to set up a culture of consent in their homes so ‘I’m going to change your nappy now, is that OK?'”
'Sexuality expert' says parents should ask for baby's consent when changing nappies.
Yes, really… pic.twitter.com/iR6wUfP87i
