Gentle Parenting F*cks Me Up
Manage episode 323722098 series 3331611
I’m gonna go ahead and say it. Gentle parenting f*cks me up. In more ways than one. I have a love hate relationship with this style of parenting because it gets into your psyche and forces you to do some deep, internal soul searching. It also forces you to re-parent yourself which is hard enough in itself and I’ll get into that. However, as challenging as this style of parenting has been for us, I do believe it’s the only way to go – at least for me and my kids. Over the past two years, we have researched and practiced gentle parenting with our son and man is it HARD. Gone are the days of time outs and punishments as we learn more about mindful parenting and child development. In this episode, I review what gentle parenting is, briefly touch on the science behind it, share some of our gentle parenting scenarios and techniques and I get into why this is so hard when it comes to re-parenting yourself.
