The Australian Brittany Baxter fights for self-determination for young children.
One should ask permission for kisses and hugs.
Australia - Australian mother Brittany Baxter campaigns for self-determination for children on Tiktok.
It does not go as far as the expert who recently demanded that children should be asked for permission before changing diapers (tz.de * reported).
But Brittany Baxter believes that grandparents should ask permission before hugging or kissing the little ones on the cheek.
On Tiktok *, the Australian explains why this approach is so important.
Asking children for permission before hugs: Mother appeals to Tiktok
She explains that grandparents are often sad when the children do not want to hug them, they may even take it personally and do not feel loved by the child.
However, in Bittany Baxter's opinion, children are not there to be kissed and hugged by adults in order to make someone feel loved.
Your “no” should be respected from an early age.
She also appeals to grandparents to please do better.
Brittany Baxter wants her daughter to learn self-determination so she can later assert herself.
If grandparents want to see their grandchildren more often, * then they should at least adhere to these rules.
