I used to join a few ‘gentle parenting’ groups on FB. They leaned mostly towards authoritative parenting. I took the best parts, that appealed to me, and left the rest 😊

This is such a great discussion point, and I equally can’t really fully describe “gentle parenting.” On one hand I feel like I fit in this category but I also embrace discipline and a lot of respect from my children while also giving them respect.

Respect is so important and showing a young child how important it is is the first step to having them see your way .

Also I don’t think I fall into the mentioned categories of parenting . It’s not my way or the high way my son makes the decision to do better so far .

I try to reason and educate my son first so I am trying to be gentle parent . I do not resort to sweets or YouTube as the reward . It is hard but fortunately my son listens most of the time .
