Diaper Changes

NOT trying to be disrespectful....but

Most eloquently said.

Can I ask you... are you currently a child care provider? A previous provider?

Working in the child care field at all? nanny, babysitter...etc?

I am only asking because several statements have been made in regards to spanking etc...and regardless of your personal beliefs, spanking is NEVER ok in a child care setting. ever.

Your own children...your business, but to even suggest that it is acceptable to spank a child care child is not ok. I am NOT saying you suggested this.... I am only looking for further clarification as to your role in caring for children.

Rules and regulations may differ from area to area, and I know a few states that still allow corporal punishment to be used in public school settings but we are talking early childhood here and for ANY child under school age, I do NOT believe physical punishment should EVER be promoted, used or accepted as developmentally appropriate.

Perhaps some clarification of your position would help alleviate some of the confusion.

I have been known to pull up rubber pants with said kid standing... and what a pleasant plasticy sound they make when pulled on that way! LOL!

That sounds like a yeast infection. What kind of cream have they given you for it? The last one I had here had a Rx cream, I think it was nystatin if I'm remembering correctly, but I've had just as many use Lotrimin AF (OTC for athletes foot). I've also used Desitin mixed with Mylanta or Maalox to help with the sting until the AF creams kick in. I'd be tempted to use disposables until the rash cleared up, myself, but I've never had a family that wanted to use cloth so I may be biased .

Yes!!

This exactly

Not currently, however, in the past, yes... and plenty of babysitting.

Every time she's mentioned spanking, I believe she's mentioned it related to her own children BC. At least that's my understanding.

I myself have mentioned a few bottom pats to my own kids, when absolutely necessary.

Some of the conversations/comments have just been a bit curious to me is all.

Just making sure... I've had several members question some of the content posted so just doing my job by asking for further clarification.

No harm; No foul

A gals gotta do what a gals gotta do

It's easy to read "spanking" and then miss the part about it being the persons OWN child.

Also, some people feel VERY strongly about not spanking while those of us, particularly here in e Deep South, still use spanking and corporal punishment regularly.

I agree. (As a matter of fact, my own children received a swat or two in their time) but we are on a daycare forum, not a parent board.....kwim?

So if someone is going to discuss spanking, smoking around a child and natural consequences of being a wriggler while getting changed, I kind of think it should be made clear that the content is in regard to the poster's OWN children.

It would definitely help keep the ??'s to a minimum and eliminate the PM's I am getting from providers seeking behavioral advice about daycare children.

That's kind of why I assumed when she said "mommy said don't touch" she was referring to her own kids?

My daycare kids don't call me mommy. Ok well one calls me mama because she can't say my name.

after reading a comment above I feel I should clarify that I have never intentionally pricked a kid with a pin (never had cloth diapers either) when I imply I pin the kid I meant pin him "down" as in holding him down

LOL!!! No explanation needed on my part, as I knew exactly what you were implying, however, the "pin" comment made your post that much more interesting! Interestingly enough for me to conjure up images of a super-sized diaper pin holding the kid down!
