Has gentle parenting gone too far?
In this episode, we sit down with parenting coach and early childhood expert Danielle Lindner to unpack the growing backlash against gentle parenting. Danielle shares why the approach is often misunderstood, how it can easily tip into permissive territory, and what boundaries kids actually need to thrive.
We talk about:
- The difference between gentle and permissive parenting
- Why “being nice” isn’t the same as being effective
- How to set firm limits without yelling or losing your cool
- The guilt parents feel about saying “no” and why we need to let that go
- Tools for raising confident, respectful kids who still feel seen and heard
Whether you’re feeling burned out by meltdowns or second-guessing your parenting style, this one’s for you. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about being intentional.
