Ngl I am annoyed at the way new parents are parenting sometimes not because "oh the old way was better", but because so many took gentle parenting and turned it into spineless parenting instead. PLEASE educate your children and help them ask questions and be curious about the world. Don't let them just do whatever they want because "that's gentle parenting", it's not, you're just setting them up to fail when they have to deal with consequences for their behavior elsewhere

#jorjposting #no your child doesn't 'need a hug and being carried around and given a pass to the theme park' because they threw a tantrum #and didn't get what they wanted. that's not 'traumatic'. that's part of not being able to afford every whim you get #please DO explain to them why you cannot do the thing they're throwing a tantrum about in an age appropriate manner.#tantrums are NOT synonymous with 'something being wrong'. they're children's behavior. you teach them how to cope #with their frustrations in a healthy way.#PLEASE i'm begging you just parent your children.
