Listening to the buzz about #gentleparenting is OUT #fafoparenting is back in 🥴 🙄 SO DUMB - we are so busy being fast and stupid we forget … BALANCE BALANCE BALANCE - ⚖️ - and how to remain grounded in values and truth and evidence, harness the energy of what works, resting in the tension of paradox

The rise of Fafo parenting: is this the end of gentle child rearing? Mothers on social media are advocating a tough, no-nonsense approach to parenting. Does this teach children important lessons – or just make them feel isolated and ashamed?

Going from one extreme to the other is NOT the solution.

It's the very last thing our children need right now.😡
