Gentle parenting emphasizes patience, emotional connection, and avoiding harsh punishments. While these values promote positive health and development, some mothers find the approach demanding and isolating. Research shows that nearly 60% of parents practicing gentle parenting report feelings of guilt or frustration when their children test boundaries or misbehave. This emotional strain can lead to burnout and doubts about their parenting choices.

Why we need boundaries. To be at our best. These boundaries protect us from experience unpleasant experiences.
