GENTLE PARENTING: What it IS and What it ISN’T

There’s a common misconception that gentle parenting means letting children do whatever they want, avoiding all discipline, or being overly permissive.

But that is simply not true.

Gentle parenting is not about saying “yes” to everything — it’s about saying "yes" to connection, boundaries, empathy and growth.

The goal isn’t to raise a compliant child.

The goal is to raise an emotionally healthy adult — someone who knows how to regulate their emotions, communicate with respect, and build strong, safe relationships.
