The Dangers of Gentle Parenting
A parenting trend known as gentle parenting has gained popularity among millennial parents, with a staggering 75% identifying with it according to a survey. This style promotes parenting without shame, blame, or punishment, focusing on partnership and collaboration between parents and children. However, this approach may ultimately undermine parental authority by treating children as equals in decision-making processes, leading to potential dysfunction and chaos in the household. The criticism highlights that children, lacking the wisdom and experience necessary for self-governance, require clear guidance and commands to successfully navigate their environment.
