Permissive parenting pisses me off so much, because so much of the general public thinks THAT is gentle parenting. I’m a gentle parent, but believe this kind of behavior isn’t allowed whatsoever

Her husband not helping her at all is an issue too, I’m kind of seeing a trend with that on her videos

She gave her a kiss while she was being scalped 😂 There’s no logic that supports that choice

I need parents to understand that their kids aren't born speaking the same language as the parents. They don't know what "stop" "don't" and "no" mean. Correct your kid's behavior, don't just make sounds at them

Can we rename gentle parenting to redirective parenting or something so people stop getting the wrong idea

Gentle parenting 90% of the time is removing child from situation and then using your words

Permissive parenting is my biggest pet peeve as a parent. You’re the adult set the example and do your job.

I want to know whos idea it was to start hugging kids close to get them to stop what they are doing. I've seen way too many think that will get them to stop.

Girl thank you. I'm a psych at a school district and the amount of functional behavior assessments I have to do in a given year is growing so fast because of permissive parenting 🫣

Most ppl don’t seem to understand that children NEEEEEEEEEED boundaries. It gives them a sense of stability, security, and being cared for (even if they don’t understand it that way). Basic child development study will give you that info

“You are not being safe. I am keeping us safe.” I hold their hands until the behavior is done. Also, there are cues BEFORE these things happen. “I see you’re bouncing a lot. I’m going to give you a big squeeze now.” And follow with “If you feel like you need a squeeze, you can ask ‘mom, squeeeeeeze?’ and I’ll give you one!”

Oof, thank you. I’m a PreK teacher, and it’s so obvious which parents are doing gentle parenting right and which ones hide their permissive parenting behind that label.

It’s like giving a dog a treat every time they misbehave — they won’t understand, so they'll keep misbehaving for attention and rewards.

can we make every parent take one 10 minute course on operant conditioning? I'm so tired of watching people reinforce bad behaviors in their children

Watch any animal parent in the wild. Do they hug their young when their young acts up? Nah. They immediately address the bad behavior by growling, pushing them away with their foot, or grabbing them by their scruff. The translation into English is stopping the bad behavior (not hurting them or having aggressive intentions). Its showing them that you will not allow them to keep hurting you or someone else. Its okay to SAY it out loud: "I will not allow you to keep hurting me/others". If you stay consistent, they learn.
