      YES PLEASE!! As long as it's done under the guise of constructive criticism and not bullying, I don't see the issue of having an opinion. We are all human beings who (shock horror!) have different opinions, likes and dislikes (who'd have thought?!) Life would be incredibly boring if we were all the same. Sadly, the way things are going, a lot of people seem to want to be the same as everyone else (now there's a nightmare!!)

      Well said, too many people seem to think gentle parenting is telling a kid to do something, the kid refuses and the parent just gives up.
      I am not sure how many parents are deliberately using gentle parenting as a cover to be incredibly lazy and not have to properly raise their children Vs being genuinely ignorant about how to care for children and that boundaries are healthy. Either way it is an unhealthy, harmful, awful trend.

      Thank you! We “gentle parent” but we call it responsive parenting, we respond to our child’s needs. If shes throwing a fit, she has a need unmet, even if its not one she deems necessary. She may be tired, and its my responsibility as a parent to remove her from the situation shes throwing a fit in, especially if its one that disturbs others, like in a store.

    I'm a mom in her 30's with kids in Gen z and Alpha. We were talking to our kids about this, and they think it's weird that these kids behave this. Teaching your kids that there are consequences for their actions, good or bad, is bare minimum. Also, teach your kids basic human decency and respect for others.

      You sound like a great parent and I'm glad that you're kids have a good support system at home.
      Gen Alpaha seems to be more of a problem concerning the damage to store property and the attitude that goes along with it. However, if they had parents like you instead of having an iPad/phone shoved in their hands, we wouldn't be seeing anywhere near the problems that we are having now. I absolutely blame the parents for their behaviour.

      I agree wholeheartedly and it is crazy how so many others don't see the strok.coming! I just saw a post from someone saying that they got into doll collecting as an adult because they were shamed by their peers at still enjoying "baby toys" and that was when they were 14. I can not imagine the fallout of 10 year olds being peer pressured to both drop age appropriate interests but also develop adult interests and act like a 20 or 30 year old. As you say I can not imagine the emotional and mental harm growing up in this sort of toxic environment will cause in the long term.

      I hadn't thought about this, you're so right. My brother and I couldn't be teenagers because my mom got cancer and then died when we were at that age. He collects legos and gave me one for this Christmas and I was so happy because I didn't have legos as a kid because my parents thought they were "for boys". Cant imagine if these kids end up being filled with botox and having plastic surgery really young or if they'll mourn their lost childhood.

    Hi! I'm a mom, I have a 9YO and whenever we go to Ulta or Sephora she obviously feels curious about sparkle, glitter, cute packaging but she's not allow to touch anything, and whenever we see a kid running at the store, throwing things, she will always ask me things loke, "Where are the parents of that kid? Why is she/he doing that? What this kid is doing is very rude" cause she knows kids are not allow to "play" at a store, it is not a Park, it is not an amusement park so no touch. The education and good behavior of a kid starts at home, if you suck as a parent your kid is going to reflect that. And kids needs to learn discipline and about consequences.

    I have four kids - two boys, two girls. My oldest is only five but I’ve noticed a lot of millennial moms (I was born in 1996) treat their daughters more like besties and not like they’re raising future adults. We can enjoy our children’s’ company and hang out or have similar interests but…many of the gentle parenting has become passive parenting. What you mentioned is called authoritative parenting - it’s gentle but with natural consequences, like you said. You don’t need to hit to discipline and teach right from wrong.

    This is also a class thing… entitled parents have entitled kids, and judging by the fact that the parents can buy their kids hundreds of dollars of skincare, they’re all pretty wealthy. So the CEO dad feels entitled and able to be rude to people he thinks are beneath him, and has raised kids who act the same.
    Also, I shudder to think of the credit card debt some of these kids are going to get themselves into keeping up with expensive trends once they’re living on their own and don’t have mommy and daddy’s money anymore (although some of them will never get cut off of it and I guess won’t have to ever change their habits).

My most difficult kids are the ones whose parents are simply not willing to be parents (going as far as telling us “we’re too busy for this school issue”, “if it doesn’t happen in your class it doesn’t affect you”, “don’t bother me with behavior issues”…the list goes on). and act like they are afraid of their children. I’ve had parents ask me “how to get out of bed early”. I’ve had parents that don’t wake up their kids for school, “that’s the driver’s job”. Little to no manners. Kids need structure, boundaries, stability, modeling. Especially modeling (which is why we do so many examples at school). They act the way that they act because they never have to face any consequences to their actions. You want your kid to not be an a*hole? Show them what that looks, sounds like. Parents that say that their children are their best friends need therapy (I don’t think that’s healthy for either the child or the parent, have best friends your own age). It’s not cute, it clearly shows you’re not ready to be a parent. A kid that knows no boundaries will carry that into adulthood and have no ability to solve problems later on, or deal with setbacks and rejection. But hey if you as a parent are willing to be taking care of your 40 year old that doesn’t know how to act around other people and understand that the world doesn’t revolve around them, Godspeed.
    Being a middle school teacher is heartbreaking. It’s made me have so much more empathy and compassion for my own parents. They had many many flaws but they were THERE.

    I have a young daughter and another on the way. I was raised with corporal punishment. And I have said this since my first was born. There is a difference between spoiling your child and spoiling them rotten!!! Of course I want to spoil my girls and give them a better childhood than I had as any parent should. But that does not mean allowing my young children to treat myself or anybody else with disrespect. And even though you don’t have kids I 100% agree and really appreciate the part where you explained gentle parenting is based off natural consequences. People without kids judging parents is one thing. But giving your opinion and criticism is absolutely valid. If I was on fire and someone offered me a bottle of water I wouldn’t stop to ask them if they’re a firefighter first😂

      @NotAnotherKuromi 9 месяцев назад +24

      I agree and it annoys me when people claim it isn't related, if children can't recognize things which adults use to be sexy then I understand but adults who claim to think a child wearing lipstick and booty shorts or who are copying a very sexy dance are just doing it for fun and it's not deeper are incredibly aggravating to me.
      Although I think girls being oversexualized and victimised is the most common problem, this specific generation does seem to be experiencing the sexualisation of boys too. This pressure to engage in sexual things beyond their comprehension or natural development often negatively affects girls too but the pressure and imo grooming of boys leads to this aswell.
      There are adults who disclose about being sexually assaulted as a child and boys being praised for sleeping with a grown woman. There are adults who discuss how damaging being exposed to porn as a child was. Or that they were engaging in behaviour they didn't understand, similar to how children now are twerking. Yet not enough people are listening to them, or seem willing to try and prevent those exact same problems. If anything many different elements seem to be contributing to a worse outcome for children today.

The amount of parents who want to be their kids best friend - NOT their parent - is scary. The way kids act in school and in public with no consequence, repercussion, or discipline is disturbing. Not to mention they teach their kids NOTHING at home. Not even school stuff - they don’t teach how to make friends, how to apologize, how to ask questions respectfully, how to stand up for yourself. They expect the teacher to “parent” and teach these things, but then don’t allow the teacher to provide discipline or consequences. Can’t have both!

After that, she showed me the book of makeup tips she got as a teen and helped me learn how to do it. I sucked. Didn't look good at all, but I had advice and support.
    The main reason she did this was because she saw how the friends were doing makeup ( Instagram from like 2014-15) and just went "good god, these girls look too old" and took it upon herself to help me stay age appropriate. This woman doesn't do makeup anymore, but she took the time-out help me out. She made one rules, "this what you get, you want more you save up for it".

There were more children struggling with emotional dysregulation and would start being sassy, hitting, and throwing things with no care for consequences. One boy would laugh whenever he was called out and told no and would act in defiance. I ended up leaving teaching because parents were not receptive to feedback on how we could work together to help support the children who were struggling. It was exhausting.

    I went into Sephora with my mom as a kid, but that was because we didn't live near a mall and if we were going to get clothes or something, she would occasionally drop in and get a perfume refill for herself. We were never allowed to buy anything until we were in our teens and could pay for it ourselves. I don't even think we were allowed to touch the testers and we certainly weren't allowed to touch the perfumes. I feel like that's how it should be. Kids can come in with parents, but they have to be well behaved and respect the fact that this is something expensive and not an everyday luxury.

And I comfort them. Sometimes its in between. What matters is context and perception. This is what certain parents ignore.

    You're so right, we all have parents so we can all have opinions about good and bad parenting!

    I feel like this has been a thing for ever now the only thing that changed is that children right now want to pretend to be grown ups by going into sephora and playing with expensive products bc girl everytime I go look at the essence display in my local drugstore it´s a mess

    As a millennial parent who plans on gentle parenting, we will definitely not be letting our little get away with absolute terror. I also work in retail so im hoping that will help teach the very basics of human decency. She only 1 year old but we're showing her the natural consequences of her actions, even to the most simple of thing.

    I feel like these people are not even gentle parenting. It's just that they don't WANT to put in the work.

    As a teacher the behavior I've witnessed has drastically declined over the past 2 years. It's absolutely disgusting how some of these kids walk through life with full support of their bad behavior from their parents.
