Comment on Piercings – Tattoos – Acrylics … OH MY by Dr. J

Parenting Beyond Punishment I believe in body autonomy, which means children should have the chance to choose what happens to their body. A child this young is too young to choose tattoos or piercings. I’m okay with Henna tattoos, unless the child complains…body autonomy is an important part of protecting children from predators and toward empowering them to make good decisions as they reach adolescents.

What will it be next? Tattoos? Personally, I don’t think parents have any right to disfigure a baby girl or boy. My daughter is seventeen and has never wanted her ears pierced. My nineteen year old son pierced his own ear. You never know what they will want so you shouldn’t force the choice on them.

Oh dear Lord….this is wrong on so many levels. First of all tattoos are painful and while perhaps less so on newer skin still quit painful, some area’s more than others. Perhaps when this child grows he/she will decide that this is most unappealing and cannot do anything about it. The list goes on and on. A child is not a canvas on which we cut and mar. I’m heartbroken over such selfish behavior and misguided thoughts of the parents. I have no problem with tattoos in any way shape or form but this right here…disturbingly wrong.
Piercing a little girls ears…that’s fine because I believe they will want pierced ears at some point anyway and it’s easier when they are babies than when they are say 8. Trust me on that one.

I said to my daughter, I’m not sure how your feeling, but “I know your feeling some kind of way”. She said, What? No mom! Smh, I got your attention.

Vivian C. Clark I read Yes I can when I was in my early twenties, I was so moved by it I just hung on ti it. Every now & then I would share it with a friend. As the years passed I had a daughter Christie Olsen) who by chance loved to read, She got ahold of that book and read it from cover to cover in a matter of a day or two. It became one of her favorites….in time she had a daughter…then she had her daughter read it…& so the cycle repeated itself. Truly a wonderful read.

I don’t like it when my son speaks to me (or someone else) with his hands in his pockets (trousers, not jacket). This is a ‘current’ habit he got from school, but I don’t find it ‘cool’ :/”

As a teacher, I neither use nor accept the use of the words or gestures. It’s not acceptable towards me as the adult nor peers. There’s a concept called decency that is undervalued in today’s culture. Especially with younger folk. I attribute the erosion of decency to an absence of decency in the home coupled with hours upon hours of reinforcement of negative behavior on television.

It only takes a few weeks for me to get the children on board. However, I have multiple parents complaining monthly about their little darlings being punished for being indecent.
