"Gentle Parenting" vs. Reality: What Actually Works for Toddlers (Part 1 of 2) Ep 97

Send us a text Are social media’s parenting trends helping—or hurting—new moms? Over the last few years, parenting trends like ‘Gentle Parenting’ have exploded on social media . While some aspects—like respecting your child and guiding them with empathy—are rooted in good intentions , the reality is that many influencers distort these concepts , leaving parents confused, overwhelmed, and even paralyzed by indecision. Many moms today are questioning: 🌀 “Should I never say no?” 🌀 “If my toddler melts down, am I supposed to just sit with them forever?” 🌀 “If I set a boundary, will that harm our connection?” 🚨 The truth is: Parenting isn’t a program. It’s a relationship. 🚨 And that’s why we need to keep it simple . In this episode of Talking Toddlers , we cut through the noise of Gentle Parenting and get back to what really matters: understanding child development. We break down the toddler years (12 months to 3 years) and why milestones are more than just checkboxes—they’re the foundation for setting healthy boundaries, guiding behavior, and building emotional resilience. No gimmicks, no rigid programs—just real-life, research-backed wisdom to help you trust your instincts and lead with confidence. ============================================== Building Vocabulary Guide - get it NOW!
