Delayed clamping along with delayed oxytocin injection or none at all.
It's not much of a delay if you're injected as soon as baby comes out.

True physiological third stage is the way for your baby to get it's full blood volume back from the placenta. ... See MoreSee Less

Helping kids understand consent starts with us! I’ve been teaching consent for years & have studied the importance of teaching consent to our kids early on. Teaching our kids these things helps reduce their vulnerability to abuse. This is a topic I’m very passionate about & so excited to partner with @curious_neuron to share more about this!⠀
⠀
These are some of the key themes that often come up in my work. I’ve summarized what is not helpful & what you can do instead below.⠀
⠀
🙅🏽‍♀️Not helpful: “Give nana a hug!” ⠀
⠀
We don’t want to make them go against & not trust their internal instincts in terms of touching others.⠀
⠀
👉🏾Helpful: “Would you like to give grandma a hug?” Respecting their answer if they say no.⠀
⠀
🙅🏿Not helpful: Tickling after they say stop. ⠀
⠀
👉🏾Helpful: Narrating out loud: “You said stop! I hear you are done with tickling.” We have a whole post coming out on tickling later this week (stay tuned) but if you do decide to tickle respect when your child says to stop.⠀
⠀
🙅🏻‍♀️Not helpful: Telling them to keep secrets (even silly ones). ⠀
⠀
👉🏼Helpful: “We don’t keep secrets in our family. If anyone tells you to keep a secret you let us know.” We don’t want to normalize keeping secrets for our kids. We can have “happy surprises” like a surprise present or party, but we encourage kids that they don’t need to keep secrets & we are safe to share anything with.⠀
⠀
🙅🏼‍♀️Not helpful: Making silly names for private parts. This is a tough one for many. Often we grew up with feeling shame for sharing the anatomically correct names of body parts & still feel this shame when talking with our kids. ⠀
⠀
👉🏼Helpful: Use anatomically correct names for body parts. Penis, vagina, vulva, breasts, nipples are not bad words.⠀
⠀
We don’t call our elbow our little bo-bo, & we don’t need to call a penis a wee-wee😂 . Practice saying these words if you are still uncomfortable saying them. ⠀
⠀
👉🏾Hope this helps you in your journey of creating a consent culture in your home!⠀
⠀
👌🏼Tomorrow I’m giving two practical tools you can teach your kids to help keep them safe! Stay tuned!⠀
