Gentle Parenting

In this blog post I am sharing some graphics I have made about Gentle Parenting.

Who doesn’t want to practice Gentle Parenting?

Answer: The Parents who find it hard to control their emotions when a child is having a tantrum ..

Gentle Parenting is a Choice we have to make to raise confident, independent, empathetic adults. Of course, Gentle Parenting does not work for everyone since it is more hard on the parents, but easy on the child. Being a Gentle Parent means controlling our emotions and empathizing with the child as opposed to blaming, yelling, and other forms of controlling behaviors. Children are individuals who are not meant to be treated like possessions. They have unique personalities in need of nourishment from parents just like a plant needs water.

It is totally OK to feel overwhelmed as a parent .. (a mother is a cook, driver, cleaner, tutor, psychiatrist, therapist in one human being). Giving yourself more chances to be a Gentle Parent allows you to practice and get better at it.
