The current fad apparently stems from a belief that a round head is more beautiful. Because babies have soft bones, parents are using a variety of “head-shape correction” products like pillows, helmets and mats to mold their heads into a round shape, the South China Morning Post reported Friday.
One mother wrote a post on a Chinese social media site titled: “I took my baby to head-shape correction, despite my family’s protests.”

Artificial cranial deformation ping.
The new foot binding.
Charlie Brown approves.
Personally I don’t understand why they don’t aspire to conehead shape for their children.
I was thinking this is an offshoot of proverbial Tin Foil Hat that some people are wear to keep out damaging signals from the Sun or 5g cell towers.
Child abuse. There used to be stories about girls in Asia, forced to wear teeny tiny shoes because the culture decided small feet were ‘ladylike’. All that unnecessary pain these girls had to endure! I don’t know if that still happens or not.
I’m old enough to remember waist cinchers, girdles, and bras that forced the breasts into points that could put your eye out.
China intentionally giving kids brain damage.
I seen it dozens to times, if not more than a hundred times in Northern Virginia
This is brilliant!

“The elite of some Chinookian (Pacific Northwest) tribes had the practice of head binding, flattening their children’s forehead and top of the skull as a mark of social status. They bound the infant’s head under pressure between boards when the infant was about 3 months old and continued until the child was about one year of age. This custom was a means of marking social hierarchy; flat-headed community members had a rank above those with round heads. Those with flattened skulls refused to enslave other persons who were similarly marked, thereby reinforcing the association of a round head with servility. The Chinook were known colloquially by early white explorers in the region as “Flathead Indians.”

Now you’re talking!
I believe the goal is for all Chinese children to have Pooh-shaped heads.
I figured it out.
When the toddlers trip and fall, they bounce off their head.
Brilliant!
