I’ve noticed many parents today are adopting gentle parenting techniques, which emphasize emotional regulation and open communication, especially with teens. This got me thinking about the origins of this approach. How long has gentle parenting been around, and was there a specific time when it started to become popular?
It feels like every parenting style has its trends, and I’m curious if gentle parenting emerged as a reaction to more traditional methods. Have any of you come across resources or personal stories that shed light on the evolution of gentle parenting? How has this style influenced your family’s dynamic?
