From time to time curious (and absurd) inventions appear that have babies as protagonists. This is the case of Baby Mops, a baby pajamas with mop included to clean the floor.
When I saw it, I thought it was a joke, a humorous invention, but the text that accompanies the images makes me doubt. Let's see what you think.
"Dress your baby with Baby Mops and leave it on the wooden floor that needs to be cleaned. It is possible that at first you have to do things from the other side of the room so that the child (or girl) is moving , but soon they will do it for themselves. " You see, the child has to get on the floor to clean and cheer him up a little at the beginning so he can clean it. After a while, as they love to clean, they will do it alone.
"There is no related child exploitation. The child does what he does best and would also crawl. Baby Mopsthey also learn to be responsible and have a good work ethic. "
Let's see, exploitation, what is said exploitation, I agree that there seems to be no. There would be if you put the little boy on the kid every day and marked a work schedule to meet and demanded that the corners of the home (how difficult it is to clean them) remain unpolluted.
About the pedagogical effect that seems to have put your son to clean the floor with his body, because there they have to forgive me, but I am assaulted by doubts. Do you need a 7-10 month baby (when they usually crawl) learn to be responsible and have a correct work dynamic? And more importantly, are you really going to learn something by crawling with a body mop while filling up with hair and fluff?
Some will tell me: "man, but I don't think the floor is dirty." This is where I use my skills of cutrephilosopher. A floor that is clean does not need to be cleaned, but if you use a resource to clean a floor it is because it is dirty.
The basic and logical recommendation for parents who have babies of crawling age is to keep the floor clean, not to use the child to clean it. In just ten minutes that child can be dragging a quantity of mites, hairs, fluff and crumbs suspiciously dangerous for respiratory health of a baby
I hope the Baby Mops really be a joke ...
