[quote=Anonymous]Not verbally usually, though occasionally I do ask verbally. I don’t ask my cat or dog verbally if I can pet them either but we practice with the kids to determine consent with body language and don’t pet an animal who doesn’t want to be touched. We also talk about how consent can be revoked at any time and how to read that body language for a dog/cat/baby. I would never pick up a baby without “consent” from the baby unless there was a need. I don’t like being grabbed unexpectedly so I don’t do that to others. We are a very “huggy” family though and asking verbally all the time would be weird. Everyone also respects “I don’t want to be touched right now” [/quote]
