why do parents not want kids to write on themselves?

Answer 1

because its hard to take 'em off, and guess who will be the one to take 'em off?

the parents!

Answer 2

Probably because they want their children to be presentable. Unless you import ink from BFE Out of Country and get around FDA regulation, ink poisoning is simply a lie. No ink that is easily attainable or used in an every day manner is toxic. Pen ink and paints available in the United States don't have lead or any other sort of chemical in them anymore, and haven't since the mid 70's.

Answer 3

well fisrt of all ink and lead poinsning , the other its a pain in the tush to wash off another thing if u let them write on themselfs theres a chance that latter may turn into writing on bedroom walls etc , , and maybe tatoos latte r in life , every parent has there own reason for there child to do or not to do certain things , im a parent of 6 and i dont want my children to write on them selfs whewn they were younger for the fear of ink or lead poisning , and plus the washing ti off bit etc , a child should write on paper thats wha t its mad e for ther e body is not made to be written or drawn on

Answer 4

Because grandparents yell at parents enough as it is :)

Seriously: my kids get paint, ink, ketchup, dirt and all sorts of stuff on themselves. Ink is the hardest to wash off, that's all.

Answer 5

my kids write not only on themselves, but on the tables, walls (everthing else) that cant get off. If they think its okay to write on themselves, then its okay to do it to on everything else. It is up for us parents to wash it off of them and the surface they did it too; but also for us parents to teach them the boudaries to using pens, crayons, markers and paint.we just dont write on anything like themselves, walls, and tables.

Answer 6

I think its just because of looks. There are plenty of ways to remember to do something without putting it on your hand.

Answer 7

Ink poisoning.

Answer 8

Is this a trick question
