Gentle parenting claims children are inherently good and discipline should be avoided, but the Bible says children are born with a sin nature and need loving correction. In this episode, we contrast gentle parenting with God's design, showing how Scripture calls parents to guide, correct, and train their children toward holiness and godliness. Chat with Bre on Instagram @datenightwiththewoods Follow Tony on Instagram @drtonygwood For videos, old episodes, blog posts, events, and more www.datenightfam.org

It's roots come from Alfred AdlerAdvocates promote its compassionate, respectful approach to child-rearing as an alternative to authoritarian or punitive parenting styles. While aspects of gentle parenting align with biblical calls for kindness, patience, and love, there are significant theological and biblical concerns that challenge some of its foundational assumptions. This article explores the principles of gentle parenting, the underlying views about human nature, and examines where it diverges from biblical truth from an evangelical perspective.The Principles of Gentle ParentingAt its core, gentle parenting emphasizes a few key principles:Connection Over Control: Gentle parenting prioritizes forming a strong emotional bond with the child over exerting control. It believes that a connected parent-child relationship is the foundation for healthy behavior, promoting cooperation rather than compliance based on fear.Empathy and Emotional Awareness: Gentle parenting encourages parents to understand and validate their children's emotions. The idea is that emotional intelligence and self-regulation come through modeling empathy, not through punishment or suppression of emotions.Positive Discipline: Gentle parenting replaces punitive measures (like spanking or time-outs) with positive discipline. Misbehavior is viewed as an opportunity to teach and guide rather than punish. Natural consequences and open communication are favored over strict rules or punishments.Respect for Autonomy: This philosophy treats children as autonomous individuals deserving of the same respect as adults. Children are given choices and involved in decision-making processes, even from a young age, to foster a sense of independence.Modeling Desired Behavior: Parents are encouraged to model the behaviors they wish to see in their children. Instead of disciplining through authority, parents demonstrate patience, kindness, and self-control, expecting their children to learn by example.Underlying Assumptions About Human NatureThe principles of gentle parenting rest on certain assumptions about human nature that, while appealing, often conflict with the Bible's teachings on humanity's fallen state and the need for discipline. Biblical parenting embraces the timeless truth of God's Word instead of the changing ideas of popular culture. When evaluating Gentle Parenting, be sure to do it through the lens of the Bible.1. Children: Inherently Good or Sinful?One of the main assumptions behind gentle parenting is that...

Once hailed as the more empathetic approach to raising children, gentle parenting is now facing pushback from exhausted parents who say the expectations are unrealistic. We're joined by Kayla Huszar, a mother who says gentle parenting “broke” her. Then, child psychiatrist Dr. Ashley Miller explores the potential benefits and drawbacks of gentle parenting and how to find a balanced approach that supports both a child's development and a parent's well-being.

We explore why toddlers hit, bite, and grab at playdates and how to respond without shame or panic. Did you know - these behaviors are VERY common stage in the early years of development?! Research shows that these behaviors are actually very common in early childhood. Studies find that between 26% and 70% of toddlers show some form of physical aggression — hitting, biting, pushing, or scratching — depending on how it's measured.  And in real-life parent reports, around 50–60% of children ages 1-3 hit or lash out at least occasionally when frustrated.So first off.. not need to think you are failing or raising a psychopath. When your child hits, spits, or scratches at a playdate, it can feel mortifying — but these moments are actually powerful teaching opportunities. In this episode, I'll share 3 Playdate Reset Tips, including:How to remember what really matters, How to teach your child the new behaviors in a way that will finally STICK.How to get the end results of more FUN and EASY playdates, without any amount of panic.Don't forget, we'd be honored to have you share this episode with a friend.

What is gentle parenting? We'll explain what this recent trend is...and why it isn't always the best...with Dr. Judy Ho, a licensed clinical therapist.

Joining me is Dr. Stephen Porges, one of the most influential voices in modern neuroscience and the creator of Polyvagal Theory, the framework that has transformed how we understand safety, connection, and emotional regulation.   Together we explore:   - How Polyvagal Theory emerged and how it builds upon attachment theory to explain our biological need for safety and connection. - The science behind our “gut feelings,” and how the body reflexively detects safety and threat in our environment. - Why hypersensitivities can cause us to misread others' intentions and what this reveals about our own physiological state. - Why thinking in circular patterns rather than cause-and-effect can transform how we interpret behavior. - Why so many parenting strategies fall flat when a child's nervous system is in a defensive state, and practical ways to reshape these moments to be more effective. - The hopeful truth that the nervous system is flexible and how “retuning” it can repair patterns of stress and disconnection.   Dr. Porges's groundbreaking research offers a powerful new lens for understanding the human condition, revealing how our nervous system shapes behavior and influences the way we relate to our children, our partners, and ourselves. At its core, it's a reminder that beneath all our words and actions lies a shared biological need to feel safe, seen, and connected.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're joined by Dr. Siggie Cohen — Child Development & Parenting Specialist — to talk all things discipline. The first thing we learned - discipline doesn't ACTUALLY mean punishment (and definitely not spanking). Dr. Siggie walks us through what discipline REALLY is, when it should begin (earlier than you think), and how to respond with clarity (not frustration) when your toddler tests the limits. We also get into how communication sets the tone for everything, a real-life example of disciplining a 5-year-old, and her thoughts on gentle parenting (+ how her approach differs).  Dr. Siggie leaves us with her biggest takeaways on raising disciplined, confident kids — and honestly, this one feels like a masterclass for anyone with toddlers or young kids!!!  LOVE YOU GUYS!

Taking away your child's phone might seem like the quickest way to discipline, but does it actually work? In this episode of Art of Raising Humans, Kyle and Sara Wester dive into the common strategy of removing phones as punishment and explore why it often backfires. They discuss how this approach can damage trust, block communication, and fail to teach the self-regulation kids really need. Instead, you'll hear practical ways to set healthy boundaries around technology, foster intrinsic motivation, and model balanced phone use as a parent. If you've ever felt stuck using your child's phone as leverage, this episode will give you tools to build connection instead of conflict, so your kids can learn to manage their freedom with wisdom. View the full podcast transcript at: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/rethinking-phone-discipline-in-parenting Visit our website and social media channels for more valuable content for your parenting journey. Resource Website: https://www.artofraisinghumans.comVideo Courses: https://art-of-raising-humans.newzenler.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/artofraisinghumansInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/artofraisinghumansPodcast Website: https://www.theartofraisinghumans.comBook List:https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/booklist The Art of Raising Humans podcast should not be considered or used as counseling but for educational purposes only.

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...   Why your child may not calm down, even when you lead with empathy and connection. How to redefine what it means for a strategy to “work” in the heat of the moment. The role of patience and presence when your child's nervous system just isn't ready to shift. Why successful co-regulation doesn't always mean a calm child. How to disengage without disconnecting—and why that can sometimes be the most effective approach. Practical ways to support yourself so you can stay regulated when your child isn't.   If you've ever tried "all the right things" and still found yourself stuck with a child who can't calm down, this episode will help you feel validated, supported, and grounded in what you can (and can't) control.     REFERENCES AND RELATED RESOURCES:

Few words cut deeper for a parent than hearing your child say, “I hate you.” In the heat of the moment, it's easy to feel hurt, angry, or even tempted to pull away. But what if those words don't actually mean what they sound like? In this episode of The Art of Raising Humans, Kyle and Sara Wester explore the deeper meaning behind those painful outbursts. Drawing on developmental science and research on emotional intelligence, they share how kids often use strong words when they're overwhelmed, disconnected, or lacking the language to express their true feelings. You'll hear:Why kids say “I hate you” — and what's really happening in their brains and heartsCommon parent reactions that can unintentionally add shame or distancePractical ways to stay calm, set boundaries, and respond with connectionHow to reassure your kids that your love is never conditionalEvery “I hate you” moment can become a doorway to deeper trust and connection.

Is gentle parenting officially over? After years of dominating parenting books and Instagram feeds, many moms and dads are embracing a new-old philosophy: “F Around and Find Out” parenting. Instead of constant negotiating, this approach leans into natural consequences, letting kids learn by doing (and sometimes failing). In this episode, we dig into why gentle parenting resonated, why some parents are moving on, and what it really means to balance empathy with boundaries.

Is Gentle parenting dissolving or evolving? For years, this approach to raising kids, built on empathy, respect, and emotional awareness, has been the go-to model for modern parents. But now, many moms and dads are asking: Does Gentle Parenting go too far?  No, many are saying it just isn't working. Without clear boundaries, can children truly learn responsiblity, resilience, and respect for authority?  If you've ever felt guilty for losing your patience or wondered if you're being too soft or too strict, this episode is for you. I'll explain the growing pushback against Gentle Parenting, the everyday struggles parents face trying to stay calm and patient, and why the pressure to 'always be gentle' can leave families feeling exhausted.  More importantly, you learn practical ways to keep the connection and compassion you love, while adding back the structure, firmness, and logical consequences kids need to thrive.  Gentle Parenting isn't collapsing; it's changing. Tune in and find out why the next chapter of parenting may be stronger than ever.    Read the full show notes with links here: Is Gentle Parenting Dissolving or Evolving?

As we read and reflect on each one, you may find yourself thinking: “Oh wow, I didn't realize I was doing that.” You'll hear:The hidden ways we accidentally attach conditions to our love.Why these patterns shape how children see themselves and us.13 shifts that help kids grow up knowing our love is steady, even when they struggle. This episode isn't about blame or guilt.

Are you clearing every obstacle out of your child's way? In this episode, Kyle and Sara Wester unpack snow plow parenting—why it happens, how it holds kids back, and what to do instead. Snow plow parenting is when parents try to remove every challenge or discomfort from their child's path. While it often comes from love and fear, this approach can unintentionally rob kids of the resilience, confidence, and problem-solving skills they need to thrive. Kyle and Sara share why parents fall into this trap, the long-term costs to children, and how to shift toward a healthier approach. You'll learn practical strategies for recognizing when you're “snow plowing,” scaffolding instead of rescuing, and coaching kids through life's challenges while still offering the support they need. Key Takeaways: Snow plow parenting means clearing obstacles to prevent failure or discomfort.While motivated by love, it can lead to anxiety and low confidence in kids.Children miss opportunities to build resilience and emotional intelligence when parents over-intervene.Recognizing when you're snow plowing is the first step to change.Coaching and scaffolding help children learn to solve problems at their own pace.Allowing small struggles is essential for long-term growth.Validating feelings—without rushing to fix—is a powerful parenting tool.Trusting children to handle challenges builds their confidence and independence. View the full podcast transcript at: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/stop-snow-plow-parenting-build-resilient-confident-kids. Visit our website and social media channels for more valuable content for your parenting journey. Resource Website: https://www.artofraisinghumans.comVideo Courses: https://art-of-raising-humans.newzenler.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/artofraisinghumansInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/artofraisinghumansPodcast Website: https://www.theartofraisinghumans.comBook List:https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/booklist The Art of Raising Humans podcast should not be considered or used as counseling but for educational purposes only.

A viral trend called “FAFO parenting” is exploding on TikTok and even making headlines in the Wall Street Journal. Advocates say it’s the antidote to “soft” parenting — let kids fuss around and find out the hard way. But is this tough-love comeback really preparing kids for life or setting them up for harm? In this episode, Justin and Kylie unpack the hype, the dangers, and the research-backed alternative every parent needs to hear. In this episode: What FAFO (“Fuss Around and Find Out”) parenting actually looks like — and why it’s trending The three big claims FAFO parents make Why FAFO backfires The vital difference between natural consequences and manufactured hardships How “need-supportive parenting” builds resilience without breaking trust QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Discipline isn’t about hurting kids to prove a point. It’s about problem-solving so they can discover the lesson.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Wall Street Journal article on FAFO parenting (subscription required) Alfie Kohn, Punished by Rewards More parenting resources: happyfamilies.com.au ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Resist the temptation to outsource learning to punishment. When mistakes happen, guide your child through problem-solving instead of powerplays. Protect the parent–child relationship — resilience grows best where trust is strong.

Today we're diving headfirst into the wild world of parenting—specifically, the fine line between gentle parenting and “I'm about to lose it” parenting. And listen, we're not here to shame anyone. How do we keep our cool when our kids are tap-dancing on our last nerve? How do we set boundaries without crushing their little spirits? This episode is for every parent who's whispered affirmations one minute and rage-texted their best friend the next. We're not here to preach—we're here to keep it real, laugh through the chaos, and talk about what it actually looks like to parent with love and limits. _________________________________________________________ Follow us on IG: @straightupsistersthepodcast @raqcsworld @lasusie Follow us on YOUTUBE: Straight Up Sisters Podcast For full episodes in AUDIO and VIDEO subscribe to Patreon.com/straightupsisters Email us: hello@straightupsisters.com
