LoveParenting: 10 Ways to Promote Your Child's Body Autonomy & Cultivate Healthy Physical Boundaries

Every time we... Tickle our kids into a state of panicked giggles but think 'they're loving it'! Pick our baby up like a sack of potatoes, without communicating - human style - what we're about to do.
Grab at our child's face with a tissue, quickly! Before they can react! Bribe our kid to give Uncle Bernard a hug, even if he does smell like carpets. Hold the spoon full of creamed-broccoli to our child's pursed lips and push, just a little.
... we might be sending our kids the message they're not "in charge of their bodies".

This is really necessary and important. I wish I had this as a young child, this would’ve helped me in a lot of situations and prevented a lot of things from happening. But I know the things that happened to me wasn’t right and it wasn’t my fault, and acknowledging that I’m doing what I have to do to cope and heal everyday and I know when I do have children I want to read them in the best way possible so that they can be the best people walking on this planet, to be good for themselves and others around them. Thank you for this very informative video❤️
