Balancing Support and Autonomy in Parenting

Mariel Benjamin, Program Director at the Mount Sinai Parenting Center and VP of Groups and Content at Cooper, delves into gentle parenting. In contrast to the traditional authoritarian parenting style many of us grew up with, gentle parenting prioritizes acknowledging and understanding children's emotions and temperament. However, when parents adopt this approach without setting boundaries, kids don’t learn how to deal with adversity or the skills to navigate life as an adult. Today, Mariel discusses gentle parenting vs. other parenting styles.
