🍼 Gentle parenting looks easy on social media but this approach to childcare leaves some parents struggling despite its many positive points
Things came to a head when Sami realised she was struggling to leave the house with her daughter. “She would scream, shout, throw herself on the floor,” she says.
“I would be stricter when boundaries were broken; telling her exactly what she was doing was wrong and that it had to stop.” “Realising children aren’t naughty when they misbehave, they’re just having a feeling, is the biggest shift,” she explains. “Getting out of the cycle of punishing or bribing our children to behave in a certain way takes daily practice.”
Well, that’s a relief. Because I did embrace sleep training, after all. Gently. Enough to give me my sanity back and allow me to enjoy the days with my son without dreading the nights. It means my partner can now put him to bed. I’ve had a few evenings out. I cook dinner most nights while I listen to a podcast or watch trash on YouTube. Things that make me feel like me.
