Dirty parenting: Mother lets daughter wallow in puddles for self-expression
The mother said that she does not worry when her daughter once again literally sits in a puddle. In this way, she allows the girl to express herself. The woman posted photos of the baby lying in a puddle and playing with mud. An honest Facebook post received many positive responses, but some users criticized this approach to parenting.
Sophie Stogden is no longer worried when her daughter is lying in the mud. A woman does not care about the opinion of other parents who condemn this style of parenting.
The woman wrote that she does not forbid her daughter to swim in puddles and walk dirty, in the Family Lowdown Tips group & Ideas on Facebook. She posted photos of a girl smeared in mud lying right in the middle of a puddle.
The mother says that the main thing for her is the happiness of the child, so she allows her daughter to do whatever she wants.
The girl loves to collect snails and bugs. The mother gives her the opportunity to express herself in any way. Sophie said that her daughter walked 56 km in three days, participating in a charity project.
Many mothers appreciated this candid post. They admitted that they often allow their children to do such things. This is how parents allow kids to feel freedom and enjoy childhood.
However, there is also a danger in permissiveness. Indulging the child in everything, the mother risks raising a maniac.
