A Simple Guide to Gentle Parenting


As poet and philosopher Rumi once eloquently said, “raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.”  

Parenting is a challenging journey, and the truth is that nobody has everything figured out. One parenting style might suit others best, and some might favor other methods. However, children respond better to a calm demeanor, so it’s best to avoid dealing with them with   anger.   Gentle   parenting   is a   transformative   style   that   can   help   you   raise   confident, independent, and, most importantly, happy children. This method involves empathy, respect, understanding, and setting healthy boundaries.
