Toilet Training of Infants and Children in Australia: 2010 Parental Attitudes and Practices
The Restraint Project UNSW Toilet training in Australia: 2010 Toilet training of infants and children in Australia: 2010 parental attitudes and practices Anna Christie B Juris LLB (UNSW) , MPA (U Syd), M Env Law (USyd) Research completed under a grant from The Australian Research Council, under the umbrella of The Restraint Project Lead Investigator Professor James Franklin, School of Mathematics and Statistics, UNSW Euphemistically named “pull-ups” are a visually engaging and increasingly engineered sanitary product designed to capture a market that less than one generation ago was toilet trained at the age of the girl pictured on the packaging. This product is aimed at children 3-4 years of age (average weight/age charts show only the largest 3 year olds to reach 17 kilos). It is right that excessive taboos about sanitary products should be avoided, but nappy advertising and packaging like this appear to be advocating the fun, confidence building and lifestyle advantages of the products. The claim that they are “training pants” in any way is unsupported. The child is portrayed as happy. In effect, the product symbolises the abandonment of toilet training in Australia today. 1 The Restraint Project UNSW Toilet training in Australia: 2010 Introduction 5 1.1Background story 5 1.2 Why do we care whether toilet training is occurring later? 6 1.2.1Epidemiological concerns such as the rise in lower urinary tract dysfunction 6 1.2.2 Waste and environmental concerns 7 1.2.3 Philosophical and ideological factors 7 1.2.4 Phenomenon now spreads to newly developed countries 7 1.3 The Restraint Project survey of parents, 2009-2010 7 1.4 Key questions we asked 8 2. -
The Psychological Advantages of Enhanced Sensitive Attunement Through Nappy-Free Elimination Communication
The Psychological Advantages of Enhanced Sensitive Attunement Through Nappy-Free Elimination Communication Miranda Thorpe Registered Psychotherapist, Psychotherapy at Apollo, Auckland Abstract The emotional and environmental impact of transitioning from a nappy-free culture to a society dependent on disposable nappies comes at a cost. After a seven-month “baby observation” travelling through Asia, my hypothesis is that the traditional indigenous method of managing the baby’s elimination enhances attunement, bonding, and attachment, and when the child feels held in mind by the mother in this way he is more emotionally regulated and somatically connected. However, the exponential use of disposable nappies may be our blind spot where neither the dangers to the psychological and physical health of the future generation, nor to the planet, are being held in mind.

Melinda thought of taking her one-week-old son to the bathroom when she knew he was about to go, but dismissed it immediately as ridiculous because she’d never known anyone who did it. Rachel was dedicated to the idea that a child should be helped to learn to use the toilet at a young age, but thought that meant starting at around a year old and that anything younger would be impossible and incredibly messy. Only after being encouraged by other parents did we start to consider an alternative to full-time diapering. -

Hybrid Activist Collectives: Reframing Mothers' Environmental and Caring
Hybrid Activist Collectives: Reframing mothers’ environmental and caring labour. Introduction It was not so long ago that feminist activists of the second wave gathered behind the slogan ‘the personal is political’ and embraced a politics of ubiquity that recognized the power of women acting in multiple yet particular places (Gibson-Graham, 2005). While forms of organized activism certainly played an important role as well, the widespread and contemporaneous nature of the second-wave feminist revolution resulted primarily from forms of geographically dispersed global activism conducted without coherent central organization. This politics of ubiquity relied on the fact that because women are everywhere, a woman is always somewhere, and in these ‘somewheres’ gender relations could be renegotiated (Gibson-Graham, 2005). Two important sites of renegotiation were ‘the places closest in’ (Underhill-Sem, 2005): the body and the home. In particular, feminists reframed and challenged naturalised understandings of the reproductive and nurturing capacities of women’s bodies, and the domestic sphere as a women’s natural place of work and responsibility. While feminist activism is still current and important in these two sites, in this paper I am interested in extending our reframing of women’s embodied and home- based caring labour with reference to environmental as well as social activism. In other words, activism for, and with, the ‘more-than-human’ (Whatmore, 2006). Firstly, though, what do I mean by activism? I am inclined to take the simple definition of activism, that is, a form of direct action for or against some kind of change, what Blomley refers to as ‘progressive struggles’ (Blomley, 1994). -

Infants display different 'elimination signals' related to voiding or defaecation. The aim of this systematic review is to map these ‘elimination signals’ in young, healthy children aged 0 - 4 years. Method: The systematic literature search was performed in two databases and was conducted using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta- analyses (PRISMA statement). Results: Two main distinctions in elimination signals were made. The first could be classified as visual, auditory and tactile, most frequently involving a change in facial expression, often combined with body movements and verbal expressions such as a short cry or grunting. Secondly. significant changes in heart rate, respiratory frequency or EEG frequency could be defined as 'clinically assessed elimination signals'. -

Natural Parenting ― Back to Basics in Infant Care
Evolutionary Psychology www.epjournal.net – 2007. 5(1): 102-183 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Original Article Natural Parenting ― Back to Basics in Infant Care Regine A. Schön, Department of Psychology, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland. Email: [email protected] (Corresponding author) Maarit Silvén, Department of Psychology, University of Tampere, Tampere, Finland. Abstract: This review examines an age-old approach to parenting recently rediscovered in Western industrialized societies and known by names such as natural parenting, attachment parenting, and instinctive parenting. Its leading principle is utmost sensitivity to the child’s innate emotional and physical needs, resulting in extended breastfeeding on demand, extensive infant carrying on the caregiver’s body, and cosleeping of infant and parents. The described practices prevailed during the evolutionary history of the human species and reflect the natural, innate rearing style of the human species to which the human infant has biologically adapted over the course of evolution. An overview of research from diverse areas regarding psychological as well as physiological aspects of early care provides evidence for the beneficial effects of natural parenting. Cross-cultural and historical data is cited to reveal the widespread use of the investigated parenting style. It is concluded that the described approach to parenting provides the human infant with an ideal environment for optimal growth both psychologically and physiologically. It is yet to be determined how much departure from this prototype of optimal human parenting is possible without compromising infant and parental wellbeing. The review also invites a critical reevaluation of current Western childrearing practices. Keywords: natural parenting, attachment parenting, infant carrying, breastfeeding, bed sharing, prototype of optimal human parenting. -
