Teaching your children everything you can to help them become
functioning members of society is what parenting is all about.
From the moment they are born, every single act of ours teaches
them something, for better or worse. As babies, when they cry, we give
them food.When they are tired,we rock them to sleep.When they eliminate
waste, we change their diaper.
Hmmmm . . . let’s think about that last one again. Until this point
in their very short lives, they have learned that the correct thing to do is
to pee and poop into a diaper.We’ve taught them this lesson, and most
of us have probably taught it well.Your children are so good at this skill,
they probably don’t even think about it anymore.
