Should children witness child birth?
Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to
the call of Alice, a mother in labour. The house was very dark so the paramedic asked
Kathleen, the mother’s 3-yr old daughter to hold a flashlight high over
her mommy so he could see while he helped deliver the baby.
Very diligently, Kathleen did as she was asked.
Alice pushed and pushed and after a little while, Connor
was born.
The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and
spanked him on his bottom. Connor began to cry.
The paramedic then thanked Kathleen for her help and asked
the wide-eyed 3-yr old what she thought about what she
had just witnessed.
Kathleen quickly responded, "He shouldn't have crawled in
there in the first place........smack his bum again!"
