"GENTLE PARENTING IS FOR GENTLE CHILDREN"!! Real talk, or missing the point? A mom of three explains why she'll never be a gentle parent. She won't get down on their level because "that's their turf," everybody put your shoes on is a company-wide email, and she validates feelings right before "now put on your pants." She isn't mean, and she says so. She loves them, respects their feelings and talks things through. She's just honest that some mornings the script goes out the window. Most parents I know live in the middle: talk it out when there's time, raise your voice when somebody's naked and you leave in five minutes. With little ones at home, I can confirm the two-choices trick works great until one of them invents a third. Home field advantage is real.
