#1002 Why Kylie Loves Snapchat

'Gentle Parenting' is a mindset with an emphasis on the child’s feelings. It may sound lovely and calm, but in reality, this "way of being" has a tendency to indulge emotions at the expense of effective family functioning, leaving parents feeling like they are hanging on for dear life—exhausted, incompetent, and emotionally drained!

Justin and Kylie share four essential steps for parenting gently in a way that ensures our children feel safe, secure, and loved. 

In this episode:
Defining "gentle parenting"
Parental Guidance Season 1
Different parenting styles
Gentle parenting the polar opposite of authoritarian


“The Rise of the Accidentally Permissive Parent
Anne Pezalla – Gentle Parenting Can Be Really Hard On Parents | The Conversation

Emotion coaching gone wrong
Indulging emotions at the expense of all else
Autonomy-supportive parenting
Kind and present parents
Boundaries and limits
