Sitting in my car in the grocery parking lot, waiting for this program to finish, I thought, this applies to my student families and their journey! Three authors describe their parenting philosophies and the range of how it can be practiced. According to the guests on this program, the goals of gentle parenting are about resilience, self-reliance, and making decisions.
Part of this program shares concerns about this strategy being too hands-off with no boundaries as well as thoughts that it is coddling kids. In listening to the program there are discussions about non-traditional families, shame, triggers in parents, today's parenting vs. the past, as well as autism-specific Q&A from parents in the autism world concerned about ADHD, autism, and neurodiverse folks.
Our thoughts--how can we take strategies or concepts from the speakers and apply them in the home or classroom? How can we use them when things are going well or in the middle of a tantrum?
