What I thought Responsive Parenting had to be. #mommacusses #gentleparenting #responsiveparenting

My mom always told me "you'll never get in trouble for spilling something but you will be in trouble for not cleaning it up, " which I appreciated bc I was a very mess-prone kid.

“buddy, I think you missed-“

died right on the spot

I love how the lesson here is really two fold:
- how did it get on the ceiling?
- and call your kids "beta version humans"

[bunnyfrosting]

If I heard “No ones in trouble” growing up it would have saved me hundreds in therapy 💀 wild how much of a difference a few words can make to a kid!

[hannahisadisaster]

period. i love this lmao “i think you missed”

[gpettus]

I love how in the second clip she doesn’t verbally acknowledge the tears, she just treats it like it’s normal. She doesn’t tell the kid to bottle up their feelings or to let it out, she just lets it be, and by her silence it’s implied that it’s completely allowed and okay to cry. It’s so nice.

"You were trying to pour the milk in the cereal? Buddy, I think you missed."
🤣🤣🤣

[leafgorge]

**looks at the ceiling** “buddy I think you missed” 💀

I really love how she frames these situations to show the adult deriving their own humour from the situation. Sometimes the gentle parenting focus is so much on the child that it's easy to get lost in this over indulgent, emotionally mollycoddling way of talking to children. I think she does a great job of showing how that just doesn't have to be the case and you can still be a sarcastic, dry humoured parent.

The biggest difference with yours is not only do you teach your kid to help with the clean up but you also follow up with helping teach and give them confidence so they can do it right the next time. I love this.

_The envy my inner child feels right now._

I went from bursting out laughing at “buddy I think you missed” to feeling tears in my eyes at “no one’s in trouble” because I would’ve been cursed out by my mom if it were me, speaking from experience

[SpazziBunni]

"There milk everywhere. Everywh....on the ceiling?"

[jonathanphillips]

I really love how in the first scenario you "Came to the rescue" by cleaning everything up on your own; but in the second scenario you had them help you, and then you helped them learn how to do it properly. That makes such a huge difference.

You can see the imaginary gentle mom slowly losing sanity over every episode

[lollymcneill]

The “no one’s in trouble” really gets to me. I remember being terrified of ever spilling anything for the yelling that would come after the spill. Even now as an adult I panic and apologise profusely if I spill something, like it was a huge deal. And people just usually laugh that I made such a big deal out of a spill

[haileylong]

"Buddy I think you missed" 😂😂 I love this channel ❤

[Mystikphobe]

YES YES YES. The first mom almost induces fear of independence in her child by making a big deal about it and “babying” them as if was a scary experience instead of acknowledging what happened and teaching them from it like the second mom

[whoa]

“Beta version humans, why did I hear a splash? Oh, because there’s milk everywhere- everywhere? On the ceiling? Hm.” SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE MY MOM ISTG-

"No one is in trouble"

BEST. THING. EVER. Every little one worries about getting in trouble, especially if getting in trouble also meant having affection withheld from them. This type of parenting is so wholesome and wonderful! Thank you!
