What is gentle parenting?

Aug 24

Written By Emily Carter-Tivendale

Gentle parentings vs. permissive parenting. What's the difference?

Gentle parenting focuses on building a strong parent-child relationship through empathy and respect, in addition to setting clear boundaries. Permissive parenting overindulges the child's desires in a bid to avoid conflict, avoiding discipline.

4 parenting styles: permissive, authoritative, neglectful, authoritarian.

A child with no boundaries feels lost.
