Pressman is a developmental psychologist and co-founder of the Mount Sinai Parenting Center. One key step is self-regulation, or the ability to respond to experiences in a way that is socially acceptable. Gentle parenting calls for caretakers to do this in lieu of scolding an upset or frustrated child.
