FAQ

Is gentle parenting good?

It depends what you mean with "good." If you mean how children are treated then yes. If you are asking me whether it's best for them, however, I'd say no. They require firmness and discipline at times. They'll never be able to properly behave otherwise.

Rules and limits are essential for children. Without them, children will never know what is acceptable behavior. They won't learn how to respect others as well as follow instructions.

If you ask me which parenting style is better, I'd say none. Each style is equally effective. The key is to find the one that is most effective for you and/or your family.


Is permissive parental behavior good?

While they aren't necessarily bad, permissive parents can be dangerous. However, it is important to recognize that children learn from both negative and positive experiences.
