On social media, a sexuality expert who advocated for parents to get their child’s consent before changing their diaper has drawn criticism.
During her Tuesday appearance on ABC, Deanne Carson discussed the need of creating a “culture of consent” in the family from birth.
According to her website, Ms. Carson describes herself as a “sexuality educator, researcher, speaker, author, and ultimate keeper of a straight face when dispelling children’s misconceptions about bodies and baby making.”
When changing diapers, Ms. Carson gave an example of how parents might start putting the culture into practice.
‘I’m going to change your diaper now, is that okay?’ she said. Naturally, the infant won’t say, “Yes, mom, that’s fantastic.” Changing my diaper would be wonderful.
