Active Babies Deserve Freedom: Why Serena Williams Is Ditching the Judgment

You know that feeling? Your kid is running wild in the store, climbing on things, doing downward dogs in the elevator, and suddenly you catch those disapproving stares. The side-eye. The head shakes. Sound familiar? You’re not alone—60% of parents have felt the need to apologize for their child’s natural urge to explore and move freely in public.

Here’s the thing: nearly 75% of parents think society views an active child as “bad.” But what if we flipped the script? That’s exactly what Serena Williams and Pampers are doing with their new #BornToBeWild campaign.

Why “Wild Child” Should Be a Compliment

Serena gets it. Her daughter Olympia skipped crawling entirely and went straight to walking—meaning this tennis legend has been chasing a dynamic little human ever since. And yes, she’s heard the “wild child” label thrown around plenty. But here’s her take: “Being a wild child is a good thing. It means she’s spirited, curious, and active.”

The research backs this up. In fact, 97% of parents believe their active children are learning real skills through exploration, with 81% saying it builds creativity. Even more telling: 84% of parents wish their kids could explore the world more freely without judgment.

So why are we still apologizing?

Serena’s endorsement says it all: “They literally give me life. My daughter can move freely, and I’m not constantly worried about fit or comfort.”

The Real Stat That Changes Everything

Here’s what stopped us: 65% of parents believe their children are more active than professional athletes. Yet we’re still trying to contain them, apologize for them, limit them.

Born to be wild isn’t just a campaign slogan—it’s a permission slip to let your active baby be exactly what they’re meant to be: growing, learning, exploring.

Pampers Cruisers 360 FIT diapers are available now in sizes 3-6 at major retailers, starting at $11.99. Because active babies deserve diapers that keep up. And every parent deserves to embrace their child’s wild spirit without the guilt.
