Gentle parenting — which I define as an approach that centers kids' social-emotional needs — started off with the best of intentions, I believe. I think a lot of them would be better served by another parenting approach, one that educators love: structured parenting. While it's different from so-called gentle parenting, structured parenting is still gentle, kind, and individualized. Structured parenting means moms and dads don't lose themselvesParents are more self-critical these days than they ever have been.
