“World Peace begins on the nappy change table”

Nappy change time is it a chore or is it a moment of connection?  A time to build relationships?  To fill up a child’s emotional cup?

Thousands of nappies or diapers get changed within our Early Years settings over the course of a month or a year. Thousands of opportunities to connect with the children who meet us there.

“Nappy change time needs to be more about brains than bottoms” says Suzanne Zeedyk, PHD

More about opportunities to connect with these miracles who require our tender touch, patience and presence.

When working in a nursery or larger setting how many opportunities for 1:1 time with an individual child?  Therefore we must shift our mindset and recognise the vital importance of these care giving moments. Nappy change time is not a conveyor belt of bottoms to be changed. A chore to be completed or to get through! 

When we place importance on these moments of connection everything starts to change. Let’s shift the mindset. Slow down and connect with the child.
