@livjowen: Some mornings, River struggles through breakfast, but for me, those are the perfect moments to practice fostering independence, patience, and follow-through. I offer choices, gentle coaching, and encouragement, and celebrate his successes along the way. Every small step helps him learn to make decisions and feel proud of what he can accomplish! 💛 #gentleparenting #momlife #parenting #parentingtips #toddlerlife

Just an FYI to everyone questioning her trying to get him to eat .. it’s because a lot of times young kids don’t understand being hungry is also associated with big emotions so teaching them that filling our belly helps our emotions too is an important connection for kids to make.

I wish more parents would parent and have boundaries while still validating their kid. Signed, a teacher.

You are genuinely the best example of what a mom should be that I’ve ever seen on this app

Liv, I look up to the way you parent so much! I love how you’re strict, but loving and gentle with your kids. It’s so important to correct bad behavior and you do it so well. Your parenting and mothering is such a good example for everyone! 🤍

not once did she ask him if he was feeling ok. She's teaching him that when he's upset it's cause he's hungry and should eat super fast.

This is exactly what Guiding Cooperative Children by Rachel Thomas breaks down—wish every parent got to read it 😩

why is he not allowed to cry? 🤨 crying is a healthy way to release stress hormones. would you rather he chuck the bowl of food across the room?

Girl no. He can cry. That's emotional neglect.

Why not offer him something else if he doesn't want to eat that?

all the criticism in the comments 🙄. I think this mum did a wonderful job. the reason so many kids are entitled brats nowadays is because parents are too soft with them and no boundaries.

Why aren’t you sitting at the table when he is eating, that is also a lesson learned to eat when everyone does

We all wake up sometimes not needing to eat or wanting to. It wouldn’t be bad if you just let him eat when he wants to. I’m also a mum of 2 boys. There’s no need for this kind of strictness. You really need to be more flexible sometimes.. it’s not always about what rules you set. This isn’t something that he is doing wrong.

This is exactly how I coach my parents! Giving too many choices or giving in when they cry reinforces that behavior! Thank you! Redirect the attention away from what is upsetting them and then focus on what needs to be done - eating :)
