Since their son's birth, Joseph Anew and Emilia Run made an effort to change his diapers slowly, paying close attention to him and communicating to him the whole process. It's their way of showing him respect.

However, they went through a difficult phase during which their son would resist diaper changes. If you're a parent, you may identify.

Remembering the advice to "Slow down, you can never go too slowly" from early childhood educator Magda Gerber, they slowed down even more, giving their son more attention and lots of tickles. Within a week, their son was happy to have his diaper changed and even began changing his own diaper. This is one of many unexpected tips I learned from the parents I interviewed for my new book Boundless Parenting. As contributors to the book, Joseph and Emilia shared advice on discipline, boundaries, self-sufficiency, and much more.
