The Challenges of Gentle Parenting

July 7, 2025 - 17:08

The Challenges of Gentle Parenting

Emily Edlynn, a clinical psychologist based in Oak Park, has brought attention to the complexities of gentle parenting in a recent article. She critiques the approach, arguing that while the intention behind gentle parenting is to foster a nurturing environment, it may inadvertently lead to some unintended consequences.

Edlynn points out that gentle parenting emphasizes empathy and communication, which are essential for healthy child development. However, she raises concerns that it can sometimes create unrealistic expectations for both parents and children. For instance, parents might feel pressured to always respond with patience and understanding, which can be emotionally taxing and lead to burnout.

Additionally, Edlynn highlights that this parenting style may overlook the necessity of setting boundaries and enforcing consequences. Children thrive on structure, and without it, they may struggle to understand limits. Ultimately, while gentle parenting has its merits, Edlynn encourages a balanced approach that incorporates discipline alongside empathy to promote well-rounded development in children.
