[QUOTE="Andy, post: 399921, member: 5096"] Yes, you may choose to desensitize for those reasons AND some may choose on their own to find that as an answer to keep people from tickling them. I am just saying that it is important for people to learn to stand up for themselves, to have the right to say "No" and be listened to. I want my kids' first reaction to being tickled when they don't want to be to say "No". I want them to learn that they do have the right to be respected and listened to. I don't want them to have to find ways around it by changing themselves as if they are the problem. "If you were not so ticklish than you wouldn't get tickled" is not a good message to send. "If you don't want to be tickled than say No" is a more impowering message. If "No" isn't working, than ask for help. [/QUOTE]
