‘Gentle Parenting’ Is A Great Way To Turn Your Child Into An Obnoxious, Insufferable Brat | Ep. 1415

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, a new parenting trend has become very popular, especially among millennial parents. It's called "gentle parenting," and like so many other new-age parenting techniques, it is guaranteed to turn your child into a terrible human being. Also, the media and the Harris campaign claim that Trump backed out of a debate with her. They're lying, of course. And a judge in Arizona rules that unborn human beings cannot be called “human beings” because the term "human being" is, apparently, partisan. Plus, the female boxer assaulted by a male boxer at the Olympics has now come out and issued an apology to the man.

My father used to say, “if you don’t discipline your kids, the law will.”
That’s still mostly true,
unless you live in a blue city, that is.

[fionam]

I’m really tired of parents being on their phones while their children bully my children at the park. I had one incident where I’d finally had enough, and told my child “don’t go near them. They’re mean.” Lo and behold, she got off her phone to come lecture me about how “no child is mean.” So she did know how to lecture, just not her own mean little kids.

[tinahastie]

As a preschool teacher, I can agree 1000%!! Gentle parenting is one of the many causes of me rethinking my career as a teacher. I have two year olds who kick me, punch me, hit me and throw wooden blocks at me and others. That, and telling me things like "I don't need to listen to you" or "shut up". And heaven help me if I try and discipline them or give them consequences for their bad behaviour. Most of my day is chaos control, not teaching!

[allisonwelton]

One of the many things I learned from studying psychology in my undergraduate was that the best parenting style is a parent that is authoritative basically has firm boundaries but also shows demonstrated understanding to their children. Basically giving your child consequences for bad behavior while rewarding positive behaviors

That woman saying everything is too tricky is ridiculous. She is blaming the truck, the water in the bath being tricky, not the child being disobedient.

[marley]

“Looks like parenting may too tricky” for some people. Weak men leading the home by emotions will create weak people, now that’s a consequence.

[gabeo]

"Gentle parenting" is entirely focused on making the parents look good and making their lives easier by skipping the difficult and/or uncomfortable aspects of parenting. It's basically just virtue signaling for hippie parents.

I was a carpool mom for their sports when my kids were teens. We lived in a housing development about 10 miles out of town. My minivan with 7 team members in the back could get loud but usually quieted down with a word from me. Once, however, they couldn't keep it down with repeated warnings so I pulled over to the side of the road. We were a mile from home, and I told them that driving with that noise level was too distracting and to get out of the van. I left them to walk home while I took their gear with me. They got the message and for the next 4 years of carpooling, I no longer had noise troubles. Teaching kids that there are consequences to their actions doesn't have to be hard.

[Relayer]

This modern parenting is crazy. As a substitute teacher I see the results everyday in schools. Schools are also bought into it. They call the students “friends”. I refuse to do that. I’m there to lead and instruct, not be their friend.

Originally, "gentle parenting" was ONLY supposed to mean - not beating, screaming at, name-calling, etc. your kids - just don't treat them like garbage. That's all it was supposed to me, don't hit & yell at them. It NEVER was supposed to be permissive parenting, which is psych-lingo for "letting your kids do damn near anything they want, & catering to their every whim, with no concern for how they'll turn out."
These are NOT the same thing. The vast majority of the millennials that are "gentle parenting" are NOT gentle parenting, they're permissive parenting, which is abuse.
"Authoritative" is the correct one, essentially, the sensible one. The difference between authoritative & authoritarian parenting -- is with authoritarian, you're demanding respect, & with authoritative, you're commanding respect.
It also doesn't involve beating your kids, but it DOES involve setting clear boundaries & holding to what you say (if you tell your kid they're going to lose movie night if they do or don't do X, you have to follow through with your threat), explaining things to the kids when it makes sense to, letting them choose things *when appropriate* (like, pajamas A or pajamas B), giving them two options for things that are both okay with you - like if your kid refuses to leave the park, you can say, "you can either come with me yourself, or I'm picking you up & carrying you out of here - which will it be?" basically.
But, "letting your kids set their own boundaries" is the dumbest thing anyone can possibly do AND is literally child abuse. It is abuse not to set boundaries for your children & to let them just have free reign. And it used to be seen as such, & in more extreme cases, it still is.
And you're correct, clear, concise, specific, & confident commands are what kids listen to more than anything else. Works for me.
And I also agree that kids want & need direction. I had a bizarre mix of permissive parenting, authoritarian parenting (somehow, I know, it's weird, my mom basically went back & forth between the two), & just outright abuse. But, at my dad's, my step-mom gave me rules & whatnot, but with no cruelty - & I had to admit - I liked that someone cared enough to keep me in line without abusing me.

Gentle parenting sounds like somebody who wants to be their kids best friend instead of their parent. Sorry Charlie - if you want your kid to grow up and respect others around them and society in general, they are going to need to be face the consequences of their negative actions through punishment and other means. I know you'll have to be the "bad guy" and your kids won't be happy with the consequences they face for what they did but it is what will help them grow into being a successful person.

I do think a child should perceive their room as "theirs". The message "this is my house and I am allowing you to stay in this room" says "you're a guest in this house, it's not your home". Perhaps something like "this is your room but in this house, we keep all rooms clean and yours is no exception."

[Saltybuher]

Being gentle but firm is the right approach. No to fear and no to violence. No no no. That makes emotional messes and abusers.

[allenotna]

Yep, i know a woman who teaches her kid that she has the choice all the time and never tells her no, gives her phones and tablets. The kid is insufferable, awful to my kids, and malicious

[ToriMoffitt-nxsc]

I asked my 9 yo son to do something and he asked me if he had to say yes, I told him yes. So he told me to just tell him to do it next time instead of “asking”. He walked away mumbling “stupid question” 😆👍 I was very proud and humbled

[jeannestewart]

"Unconditional Love" - loving your children no matter what they do, gets confused with "Unconditional Shrug" not caring no matter what your children do.

[MollyOKami]

A parent is to be an iron fist in a velvet glove: soft touch but firm stance.

[sharonhardy]

Matt once made a video about people who hate to see families with kids sitting near them in restaurants. Although it seems wrong, “gentle parenting” is the reason. I’ve witnessed kids absolutely destroying a section in a restaurant with their noise, spilling, throwing things….all while the adults made weak suggestions for them to stop, followed by “Okay?” When I was a kid, and went out with my parents, I knew how to behave. If adults came over in the evening to visit, we were put to bed. Likewise, my dad did not tolerate others bringing their kids, and allowing them to run in the house, bounce on the furniture or make messes. We had consequences, and the same was expected from others.

My teenager: "Dad! Why'd you eat that? It was mine!"
My response: "Remember all those nature videos we've watched? The alpha male lion takes the meat."

I have friend who is a teacher and she says children crave disipline. Makes them feel safe.
