"Teaching Consent: A Powerful Lesson from a 6-Year-Old's Ear-Piercing Experience"

A clip from Kimberly Corban's podcast is going viral on TikTok for sharing a relatable experience she recently had with her daughter that other parents can learn from. Corban's daughter wanted to get her ears pierced at the American Girl doll store, but suddenly went quiet after picking out the earrings she wanted. Instead of pushing her daughter to go through with it, Corban told her daughter, "Honey, you can say no at any time." Her daughter immediately welled up with tears and told her parents, "I don't think I want to." The experience was a teachable moment for her daughter as it was for Corban.
