Let's Talk About Gentle Parenting

Interested in learning more about what gentle parenting is but don't know where to start? Start here! I found that there was a ton of information about what gentle parenting is but not enough about what it LOOKS like. In this episode, I use personal anecdotes to describe what gentle parenting looks like in contrast to "old school parenting". Also, as promised, I've linked some resources to help you on your gentle parenting journey. 

My favorite child therapist and gentle parent, Maggie Nick can be found on Instagram and Facebook @parentingwithperspectacles
