"Gentle Parenting: What is it, and why should I do it?"

If you're looking for ways to be a more effective parent, you may have heard of the term "gentle parenting." Gentle parenting is based on the principle of responding to your child's needs with empathy and respect. It can teach you how to understand your child's emotions better and provide the support they need to feel secure and loved.

What does gentle parenting teach?

The first thing gentle parenting teaches is that feelings are ok. It teaches that feelings are normal and part of being human. Gentle parenting also teaches the child to express their feelings constructively and in a non-violent way.

Children learn to identify what they are feeling and label their emotions. They learn to verbalize their feelings (in a respectful way). Then, they are taught the appropriate actions to take and how to express themselves positively, even if they disagree. They learn that love is the most powerful force in the universe and that using love, compassion, and understanding is the answer no matter what. They learn about their self-worth, what is and is not ok from other people, and how to react to and deal with those types of people in a positive, loving, powerful and affirming way.

How do I start gentle parenting with my toddler?

Gentle parenting does not have to be a significant change. It is about making small changes in how you react and respond to your child. You can start by observing how you are responding to them now. Do you feel like you are always telling them what not to do? Instead, focus on telling them about the things they are doing correctly by encouraging them to shine their lights and be the best and biggest versions of themselves that they can be. By allowing them to explore, take chances, and climb the tallest trees because you are there to protect them and ensure that they are safe. Do not teach them through fear or punishment; instead, tap into your fullest potential and teach them about theirs. You are limitless. They are limitless! Tap into that love and light within you and just know that everything is ok, everything always was ok, and always will be ok.

Focus on solutions! For example, if they play and spill their milk on the ground - instead of reacting and yelling or blaming them for an honestly harmless and innocent accident, you can say, "No worries! Let's clean it up!" because that is the truth - there is nothing wrong! An accident is an accident! Now, time to clean it up.

You cannot go back in time and reverse what happened, so instead of creating more misery for yourself, which teaches your child also to cause drama and a fuss over spilt milk, show them that there is always a solution and that's all that ever matters. Be kind, gentle, loving, compassionate, and understanding. Don't be so hard on your little ones, don't be so hard on yourself! Gentle parenting has everything to do with raising your child and YOURself in a gentle, loving way.

What is a gentle parenting technique?

Gentle parenting is a way of raising children that encourages them to be happy, content and confident in their everyday lives. It is all about guiding your child to learn how to make good and empowering choices for themselves. It is all about teaching them how to feel good about themselves. It is also about letting go of the need to control your child and instead being in partnership with them.

A great gentle parenting technique is to help your child develop their sense of self-worth and teach them to be responsible for themselves. It is about teaching them how to solve problems through communication. Another gentle parenting technique is ensuring you have a great relationship with your child.

In conclusion, gentle parenting is a beautiful way to raise your child, and it is worth reading books to learn how to become one. Apply what you learn in gentle parenting books, step by step, and remember to be gentle with yourself. When reading bedtime stories for your children, look for gentle parenting style books like "The Very Hungry Dinosaur," which teaches about finding solutions, positivity, and the love and gentle bond between mama and baby dino.
