The only baby that will be here will be my own. I have read on here of some providers having a don't touch the baby rule and I would like for that to exist here. I have many preschool-aged children. When siblings of the other children come in (young infants and toddlers) the other children always attempt to touch them/do touch them and I correct it stating, "Keep your hands to yourself."
Some parents (parents of the TOUCHERS) have actually acted offended about this when they witnessed it. When a sibling gets upset at others not listening to the rule of hands to yourself they will act visibly upset and the parents of the toucher will usually laugh and look shocked saying something to the extent of, "Oh my, aren't we protective..." I have a feeling these same parents are going to want to hold/touch my baby as they feel their child's entitlement to touch other people's babies is completely justified.
Do you have any parents who are offended by your rule? How do you word it "NICELY" so people don't feel offended by something that isn't offensive at all?
