Recently, I witnessed a controversy in the community. Neighbor Xiaosun and her mother-in-law had a heated argument over the child's wearing "crotch pants" and "diapers". Xiao Sun is complaining that her mother-in-law insists that her children wear "crotch pants" to play in the community, while she personally advocates dressing her children in modern diapers. This problem has caused conflicts between generations, the older generation is Xi to letting children wear "crotch pants", while young mothers feel that diapers are more scientific. So why are the elderly so keen to dress their children in "open crotch pants"?
First of all, the persistence of the older generation stems from their parenting experience. In their cognition, it is very convenient for children to wear "open crotch pants", and their own childhood was spent wearing "crotch pants". They have a deep sense of identity with the convenience of "crotch pants", so it's hard to change their insistence on this approach.
Secondly, the old people took into account the economic factors. Compared to diapers, they think that "crotch pants" are more economical. In the past, families were not financially well-off, and buying diapers could be a luxury. Therefore, the old people have formed a Xi of saving and are unwilling to waste money on diapers.
Finally, the elderly have some concerns about diapers. They found out during use that diapers can cause children's ** problems, such as red farts. They are worried that diapers are not breathable and can easily cause physical discomfort to their children. In addition, the elderly think that it is very troublesome to change diapers frequently, and "crotch pants" can easily solve the problem of children going to the toilet and reduce the burden on adults.
However, Xiao Sun did not agree with her mother-in-law's behavior of wearing open crotch pants for her child. She criticized her mother-in-law's Xi of making homemade diapers and diaper pads, and pointed out that diapers are not easy to use, and the child needs to be changed immediately after urinating, otherwise it is easy to cause ** problems. Although Xiao Sun knew that her mother-in-law had good intentions, she did not want her child to suffer. Therefore, she chose to change the child's diapers when her mother-in-law was not paying attention. In this way, she and her mother-in-law are like having a secret confrontation, and the two sides come and go.
In fact, there are several obvious differences between wearing "crotch pants" and wearing "diapers". First, there are differences in personal hygiene. The environment is different now than in the past, and various pollutants may be present in the soil. If your child is wearing "crotch pants", he or she is likely to be injured when he sits on the ground, such as broken glass. Wearing diapers can effectively protect your child's intimate parts. Of course, families can choose to wear "crotch pants" for their children at home and use diapers when they go out to better protect their children.
Secondly, the issue of toileting is also an important consideration. Many elderly people think that wearing open crotch pants for children can make it easier for children to urinate and defecate, and children do not need to take off their pants hard. However, this method does not work for children when they grow up. If the child continues to Xi squatting down to defecate, it is easy to rub against the pants, which will cause inconvenience. Therefore, when the child is older, we should gradually let him Xi wearing long pants and develop the child's ability to go to the toilet.
Finally, developing a child's gender awareness is also an important factor. As children grow, they need to learn to protect their privacy and physical safety. When children go to kindergarten, they should understand which parts should not be touched by others, and they should not touch the opposite sex themselves. This requires us to cultivate gender awareness and self-protection in children's education.
All in all, the argument about children wearing "crotch pants" and "diapers", we can seriously discuss and find a compromise. For younger children, it is appropriate to wear "crotch pants", such as at home. When you go out, you can change into diapers to better protect your child. And as the child grows older, we can gradually let the child wear long pants and develop their ability to go to the toilet. It is also important for children to develop gender awareness, so that children can learn to protect their privacy and physical safety.
