"She won't last long~"

The "trying to gentle parent my child🤭"but then it does not work and they yell.....The misinterpretation of gentle parenting is SO F*CKING annoying. Gentle parenting is little just democratic parenting style meaning you communicate as a team it does not mean there are no consequences at all it means there are natural and mostly immediate consequences like kid draws on the wall➡️kid has to clean/paint that spot......kid is late for dinner because they watched "the last episode"➡️food is cold or eating alone. Just because we don't yell or slap a child does not mean they don't have consequences. everytime I see one of those the "gentle parenting" is always no consequence no lesson letting the kid do what the hell it wants......As an educator still in education (in my first year right now) I am so peeved by this this is Laissez-faire if anything but not gentle parenting.Big problem is people will blame gentle parenting for children not being respectful or something just because nobody emotionally or physically abused the kid to "teach them manners" the Montessori way woulld be the prime example of gentle education. It pisses me off so much thanks for listening
