The increasing popularity of "gentle parenting" has launched a new buzzword into the child-rearing landscape: co-regulation. Co-regulation refers to an adult helping a child soothe their own emotions during a stressful incident. Instead of admonishing them, gentle parenting, also known as responsive parenting, calls for the caretaker to co-regulate, which means providing empathy and modeling calmness. And, according to child psychologists, kids who can better handle their emotions are more likely to be resilient and thrive in stressful environments. Unlike gentle parenting, authoritative parenting styles assume that a child misbehaving stems from a negative, self-aware place, Delahooke says.

When it comes to raising kids, some parents feel like they need to commit to one ethos. If you're an authoritative parent, you set hard boundaries and focus on following set rules. In reality, parenting works best if you mix styles, says Mona Delahooke, author of "Brain-Body Parenting: How to Stop Managing Behavior and Start Raising Joyful, Resilient Kids." "The hype around parenting styles has taken us away from the more relevant question: 'What does my child need at this moment?'" In some instances your child will need you to provide some emotional safety, and other times they will need more rigid guidance.
Especially because her book, "Brain-Body Parenting: How to Stop Managing Behavior and Start Raising Joyful, Resilient Kids" is often lumped into the same category as gentle parenting literature. In her book, Delahooke, who is a child psychologist, tackles a more "granular" child-rearing method called "responsive parenting." How is responsive parenting different from gentle parenting? All gentle parenting means, she says, is parenting that is less authoritative than what most people associate with "traditional parenting." In traditional parenting, though, they are yelled at or are administered a punishment with little acknowledgment of their feelings.
