Parents, teachers, therapists, and other adults like grandparents, nannies, etc. often touch their kids faces and mouths - to wipe face or lips, to brush teeth, to feed, to remove pocketed food, to pacify, to assess, and a host of other reasons. This may be disturbing to children, and may even cause anxiety. Sometimes these well meaning adults forget to get consent from the children, or getting consent is not even considered. Sometimes, in spite of getting consent, these children may feel anxious or apprehensive. ✨It is so important to take a pause in those moments, give our children space to feel those negative emotions, acknowledge their feelings, reassure them, and even reconsider changing our approach, tools, or just trying another time. ✨Let's be respectful of our little people's feelings and mindful of how we approach them even during the most routine everyday tasks. #parentsofinfants #parentsoftoddlers #pediatricslp #mindfulness #positiveparenting #montessorislp
