Gentle parenting sparks a new clash over raising children
Original: Gentle parenting: The new war over how to raise children
Gentle parenting, an approach that emphasises empathy, emotional validation and avoiding punishment, is at the centre of a growing debate about how children should be raised. Supporters argue it builds healthier relationships and emotionally secure kids, while critics say it is permissive, exhausting for parents and risks producing poorly disciplined children, turning a once niche philosophy into a heated cultural battleground.
Why now: Parenting styles have become a polarising cultural topic, with gentle parenting drawing both enthusiastic advocates and sharp criticism.
