She also addresses some of the common myths and misconceptions that parents have about these topics, and debunks them with facts and evidence. But if we only focus on happiness, we don’t leave room for all of the other emotions that our kids are going to experience. Rather than correcting the undesired behavior with punishments or time outs, she encourages readers to take the time to understand what’s going on inside when our kid is acting out. Most of the universe has managed to parent reasonably well for millennia without Gentle Parenting methods.

In contrast, parenting under the assumption that your child is “bad” breeds an environment of shame and darkness.

Dr Becky seems to believe that placing value on how others are affected by your behavior will turn your child into a doormat. I got the sense she assumes we're all from the same culture/class/upbringing/etc and knows what isn't being said.

I am not convinced that children will really appreciate this, long-term, or that it will create children who are socially aware.

Reading these books on authoritative parenting reinforces my certainty that children are worthy of love and respect as full humans, and many of us weren’t raised with that belief. The book seemed like it was written for an era of pandemic parenting where children are unable to get care outside of the house, and when parents always had to work from home with children there.I find it odd, because sticker charts are for “start behaviors” (things you want your kid to do) while most of her book addresses “stop behaviors” (things you want your kid to stop doing). Thank you for the helpful advice along with scenarios for us to practice during the opportunities to do so! Asking this question immediately changes our posture from accusatory to one of empathy and listening. So, I can *appreciate* the idea of compassionate response, but I didn’t feel like this book gave me enough tools to manage a conflict with my kid from start to finish.
