My parents gentle parented me before it was cool, can confirm I am a full functioning adult and my parents enjoyed parenting me.

My mom is convinced that gentle parenting makes boys gay.

I think the problem is a lot of people think they’re gentle parenting and are actually permissive parenting. I’m a gentle parent, but we still have rules and boundaries. My kids don’t get whatever they want just because, they are held accountable. Yes they can be disappointed that they can’t do what they want, but crying and throwing fits is a hard no. Not all feelings are wanted for every scenario.

Not in my opinion. Some parts of it i do agree with but alot of it i don't

Because not all kids respond the same to it... Gentle parenting works for gentle children, not the feral ones🤣 mostly kidding there but for real, different methods work best for different kids

If you got gentle kids maybe. I’ve got a couple little fuckin felons running around my crib 😂😂😂

I became a gentle parent more than a few years into the adventure and it improved our household situation immensely

Only if you do it wrong (or your kids a sociopath)

Gentle parenting works with gentle kids. The phrase might be a little confusing but it basically means gentle parenting only works with kids who listen when you talk, if your kids don't listen at all you might need to shout, NOT HIT but it all depends on the situation.

I was in grocery store. Young couple was packing their groceries. Mom kept saying "honey. Those aren't our groceries. Please don't touch". I had bus to catch afterwards. I waited few minutes. Then I said in calm voice. "No, don't touch". Toddler stopped. Mom was in shock "you can't talk to children like this" and took toddler away. I just rolled my eyes and started packing.
