5718 The Truth About 'Gentle Parenting'

In this episode, I explore the subtle differences between gentle parenting and peaceful parenting. While peaceful parenting focuses on a non-violent approach, gentle parenting aims to create emotional connections, which can lead to pressure and feelings of inadequacy for parents. Through personal anecdotes, I illustrate how children reflect adult behaviors, emphasizing the significance of active listening to prevent escalated meltdowns. I discuss the evolution of parenting strategies, cautioning against overly permissive interpretations of gentle parenting that lack necessary boundaries. I critique societal pressures and the expectations created by social media, suggesting that a “sturdy parenting” model offers a balanced approach. This framework encourages genuine listening while maintaining parental authority, ultimately fostering healthier family dynamics and equipping children to navigate their emotions effectively.
