Original: Inside the debate over ‘gentle’ parenting and boundaries | BBC News

A BBC News feature examines the ongoing debate over 'gentle' parenting, an approach that prioritises empathy and emotional validation over traditional discipline. Supporters say it builds healthier parent-child relationships, while critics argue it can lack boundaries and leave parents exhausted. The discussion touches on how far parents should go in accommodating children's feelings while still enforcing rules and limits.

Why now: Gentle parenting is a divisive trend, and a high-profile BBC examination is reigniting arguments between supporters and critics.
