I understand you’re passionate about what you do but you never actually say how this all translates when they are older, say in secondary school how are you going to deal with George’s behaviour? If he’s still bullying children then, because I don’t think the practicalities of gentle parenting would work in that scenario. I just can’t see how the signing of the word sorry is going to come into play when he is a teenager, I do agree with the point you made saying that making the child say sorry isn’t really them saying sorry but the actual act of making the child go to the other child to say sorry instills the need to apologise in circumstances like these

I wish I could send this to my nanny family 😭 I really try to do this with the kids but they always force them to say sorry and I feel uncomfortable in those situations

Do you say no with gentle parenting? My daughters 1 and she knows the word no when I say it but obviously doesn’t know why I say it but I want to change how I say it! Also how to not loose temper with child? I feel like I raise my voice a little and I hate doing it!

I am very interested in all you have had to say on this matter. Having listened through and read the comments, I have some thoughts: * If this is ‘gentle parenting’ then it is not what I thought it was as I did always relate it more to be ‘permissive’. * I like the idea of ‘authoritative’ parenting, as you’ve called it - makes more sense; it is very emotionally intelligent and aware parenting. * I am a mainstream secondary SENCO and I would say every EHCP I read has a statutory requirement to teach a child emotional regulation and awareness through targeted intervention - which I think is interesting based on your experiences and strategies in parenting. * I am unsure why people are questioning whether your son has apologised to the girl he has ‘bullied’ (as a commenter has said above, this could be a term to move away from) immediately after becoming upset and speaking with you - it’s the summer holidays and and the apology (with potentially a restorative conversation) will have more impact in September.

I'm a playschool teacher i notice a lot of the time when a child does something before I open my mouth they are shouting I already said sorry, before I even speak to them about their actions. it's like they think once they say sorry that should be it

I always make this make, I always say "I think you need to say sorry", and I realise my children dont mean it cos they say it in a silly tone. Its so soo hard to get my mind in that mindset but I LOVE watching these Kelly!!x🥰❤️❤️

This absolutely works. I have doing the same thing with my 4 year autistic little boy. Whilst on holiday last week he accidentally lost some of his cousins puzzle pieces through the slats of the decking, we had no idea. He came in and his first words were ‘I’m so sorry Allie, it was my fault but it was an accident’. He truly felt sorry. I will never force him to apologise and now I know I don’t need to!💗

not even watched past you say "before you..." I don't make my children apologise. I talk to them about expected behaviour and leave them to apologise when they're ready

This is amazing way to teach your children the right things to do l really like it very emotionally intelligent. However what can I do with my son he has autism and he refuses to apologise or say sorry he finds it embarrassing but he is sorry. What other ways can he show he is sorry without actually saying sorry. I would love to know if you have any ideas. Xx

Bethany Roberts :
I class myself as a gentle parent, I talk through few with my children and I try my absolute best to be the best mum I can be, I validate their feelings etc I do a lot of what you do when I watch your videos. But for me my children we always apologise if they done something wrong, I won’t tell them to say sorry without giving them reason to why they are saying sorry. My oldest son is so aware and in touch with his feelings and others, he learnt right from wrong. And your child has to know when to say sorry, they are the child and sometimes need an adult to tell them and help them understand they are in the wrong not just sit with his feelings. If my son hits someone or calls someone a horrible name, nope this mum will not allow for that kind of behaviour and I will have a calm chat about how hurtful words and actions are and why he has to apologise.

My daughter is autistic and genuinely cannot regulate emotions, she won’t verbally apologise and say sorry, instead it’s in gestures, she brings her hamster to me to regulate both our emotions, kind of breaks the ice…. she will draw or write me notes…. It’s quite cute actually but I give her space when she’s dis regulated, but I never force her to say sorry, she does this in her own way and I’m ok with that x

Sarah Whitty :
I have 100% made this mistake with my 2 young boys sadly despite me completely agreeing with everything you have said and also doing a lot of work with then on emotional intelligence. I think sometimes its partly, sub-consciously, to try and prove to another parent of another child that I am dealing with it which is so wrong! Thanks for explaining this Kelly!
