"Do not make me count to 3" ... what happens in gentle parenting when you get to 3? Serious question.

"do you want to try again?" is my GO TO. followed by "no it wasnt a choice. try again because the first time was wrong"

gentle doesn't need to be weak and passive. gentle can still be firm. excellent example 💖

And sometimes it's me screaming "I WANNA SWING FROM THE CHANDELIER!" so everyone looks at me like I'm crazy so I can then say "If y'all don't do what I asked, when I asked it nicely, I'm gonna TELL you to do it mean" lol

YES. It means you're not ruling by fear, you're instructing with boundaries, expectations, and mutual respect.

Gentle parenting is about communicating and not using physical violence. Waaaaay too many people hear this and go "if I can't use violence, then I can't do anything. " and thus, the permissive parenting begins.

“SIR! We are going to take deep breaths and practice how we talk to each other” my husband laughing in the background “I thought we don’t raise our voices 😂😂“ “only raise it momentarily to get his attention because you don’t like I clap 3 times” 🤷🏼‍♀️

You’re rocking the gentle parenting; and I’m super proud of you keeping calm even when they’re definitely pushing the limits 🥰

It’s called being a “warm demander,” and it does not work without genuine connection. Absolutely nailing it, mama!❤️
