‘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.

  1. When people want to use terms like "unborn human", "fetus", "terminate", "delete", etc instead of "baby" and "murder" it makes me think of the true crime shows I love so much.

    Any detective worth their salt will tell you that murderers distance themselves from the person by using terms like "he", "she", "them", "the girl", "the baby", etc instead of their name BC they KNOW what they've done is horrendous.

    Same thought process here me thinks

  2. 11:40 I can understand the gentle parenting idea to a degree, I think it's wrong, but parts of it are right.

    You DO want your kid to be their own person. They're only a minor for a fraction of their life as an adult, if they do not learn to be an adult they'll always be a kid.

    If your child agrees that a punishment is fair that is actually good. It means they are mature, it means they actually think about their actions and have the discipline, courage, honesty, honor, reason, and respect for you to not only abide by the punishment but actually AGREE to the punishment, which is not the same as simply obeying out of fear.

    The caveat is that the parent shouldn't request it. He should say, "you are grounded, do you *understand*" and the kid should say willingly without being asked "okay, that's fair, I'm sorry dad"

    And then, if the kid DOES show remorse, if they articulate that they know it was wrong, why it was wrong, and they know how they should act instead , articulate that, and not only say, but ACT it out. If they prove that your teaching actually got to them and that they respect it, and if they do not only stop the negative thing, but do something positive to make up for it, then I do believe you should show some mercy, and let her go to the party.

    This is how it is in the real world. If you do this, it shows the kid they can respect authority, they can understand right and wrong, and they can actually turn something bad into something good, they can persuade people to their side and become valuable and positive to other people, just like in the real world. In the real world you can get out of prison early with good behavior, or you can negotiate with your boss to not get fired if you improve and then become a positive employee.

  3. 20:30 I disagree with you. First off who says she wants them to be quiet right now? You don't know what they're doing or what she thinks of it. What she means by "natural" is that the thing they're doing is the thing that receives the consequence, just like in real life.

    In other words, the consequence is proportionate and related to the transgression. So if the kids can't agree on the tv show, you don't spank them because that doesn't actually teach them anything, you take the tv away. If they are fighting in the car on the way to the party, you don't go to the party.

    What that teaches them is that for everything you do in life, you must do that thing the right way, or that thing will either not happen or won’t happen right. It doesn't teach them a broad unrelated punishment for all actions. If you ONLY spank them or do the same punishment for ALL actions (not that you shouldn't ever spank, but if that's the only punishment and you do the same thing for all misbehavior) then they don’t actually get that message. They do get A message, and it's not necessarily completely ineffective. However I then the message is moreso, "if I make my parents upset, I get hurt". I don’t know if that's as effective as "if I cannot learn to negotiate with my sibling about how to play together, then we cannot play, and we will fight and continue have a negative relationship" that's actually a specific thing that allows the child to target one specific sin and action and learn how to fix it.

    Yes, spanking them is sometimes necessary and can certainly teach them how to act right, but it's harder, and will sometimes result in misdirection of corrective paths. If they just get spanked when they fight with their sister, they might just stop talking to their sister altogether, just avoiding the whole thing because they don’t know the specific thing they did and how to correct it. That's not breaking a rule, but it's not doing a positive thing, which is learning how to engage positively in various situations by building a repertoire of precision skills that buildup to a broad understanding of morality.

    I would say if they DO know the specific thing, and if you've told them the specific thing, and they STILL continue to disrespect you and break the rule, THEN you spank them. This way you teach them specified rules that can be acted upon with purpose and precision, you teach them that there are multiple consequences, first that it doesn't work (the natural consequence), second that people get angry and will punish them themselves (the authoritative or societal consequence), so they learn how the world works, they learn morality AND law and respect for it. They also learn trust and giving the benefit of the doubt by seeing their parents show that first, you communicate the rule and the natural consequences happen because of YOUR actions, and that you should give people a chance to improve before you resort to violence, you should have trust in them.

  4. All these points Matt brings up are closely related and a direct correlation to why women arent to be pastors. There is some power and "specialness" to being a woman. Things a man cannot do or with great effort only mimic. Same way a woman is a nurture nature and can only imitate the leadership qualities that God created in men.

  5. My grandfather disciplined the way his father did, my father disciplined the way his father did, I disciplined the way my father did, my children discipline the way I did- why you may ask? BECAUSE IT WORKS!

  6. I raised my 4 daughters starting in the year 2000 until late 2000's. In my opinion looking at these woke parents you're making the job way harder than what it has to be and just like Matt said, they're making nothing but soft entitled brats out of your children. It's really sad. And honestly looks exhausting and a waste of time. You don't sit and try to reason with your child you're the boss … period! Parenting does not have to be this difficult.
    They are CHILDREN not ROBOTS or equal to the parent.

  8. Wholeheartedly agree, gentle parenting does NOT work. In 1999, I found myself in a relationship with a women whose sister and brother-in-law were crack heads. DHS officials had the children come to live with Auntie. While Auntie had NO children, I became the parent. These 2 boys were like wild animals, and needed direction. So I laid down the rules and tracked them on the board with reward markers. I held them to account. It was alot of work. The more disciplined, the more work for the parent. Auntie was wishy washy and huggies kissy with her favorite, and fought constantly with the younger (3 year difference between the 2). The first night the boys were with us, they just about killed each other…so one of the rules was NO WRESTLING. I also never hit or spanked them. If one of the boys mouthed off, or did something unacceptable, I had them stand in the corner and think about what they did. Then ask them if they were ready to talk about it. Usually the child could talk about what happened and promise how he would do something different if the same circumstances happened again. If the child was not willing to talk about it, and believe me you can tell, then he got to stand in the corner until he was willing to talk about it (without leaning on the wall) and that in itself would wear down the unwillingness. Yes, disipline can be done without violence and it takes a real commitment and consistent follow thru and random rewards for good behavior. After about 2 years, there was a cookout at the Auntie's house with all the neighborhood boys, alot of boys on the block, and the Auntie's nephews were the best behaved of all the children. This is Durga energy, loving and strict. Kids never question loving discipline because they know where they stand. Kids are smart, they know when they are manipulating parents, we went to a seminar where the 7 year olds admitted when they knew they were getting away with not following instructions from the parents. These kids knew. Its much easier to start when they are young. The boys were 6 and 9 when they arrived. We had them for 2 and 1/2 years.

  9. I’m 15 years old and sometimes my dad will ask “what consequence is fair” and every time I always say “you’re the parent” then he doesn’t do anything other than be passive aggressive and do nothing 9:11

  10. The term “human being” is partisan.

    I mean I guess it is. It’s a fact but that’s what makes it partisan these days

    Edit: Matt you’ve absolutely white pilled me on the abortion issue. I admit I thought it was a losing issue because it seems like a majority of people support abortion but you’re absolutely right, when you call it what it is then they change their minds a LOT. Thanks Matt

  11. “As the blood drained from my face“. If you stop the conversation right there, where would your mind go? Who would she be dealing with that would illicit this response? Would she say there was a charging bear, intruder, stalker? No? Her four year old? Oh that should strike terror and dread into any parent.

  12. I think there is something men can do to solve the boxing dilemma. If more ever more masculine and jacked men who never historically claimed to be a woman join womens boxing intentionally to make a point they might have to change something.

  13. My teen daughter would move in with that gentle parent dad in a heartbeat 😂. She thinks she is a slave because she has to clean HER room, do HER homework, put away HER laundry, clean HER room and clean HER guinea pig cage….oh and sweep the house daily which she gets paid $10 a week to do because I am a monster.

  14. Age has a lot to do with the parentinf style. The second one i dont think was supposed to be serious. This child is 4 and sounded completely normal. And 3 wasnt so bad either.

  15. I agree with allot of what you put out in the past but you sir are completely wrong about this. Not to mention you didn’t explain to the dumb people who might be watching that not gentle parenting does not mean beating the hell out of your children. I speak to my daughter like she’s an adult of course she has told what to do and made to listen if she doesn’t. She sent to her room, but that’s the extent of it as far as creating a good relationship with your children that is the most important thing not the type of discipline you provide. Let your kids know you have faith in them and let them also know they will make mistakes and that’s OK as long as they learn from them. If you think back in the 70s and 80s was the proper way to raise kids, maybe you should reevaluate what you’re telling people because back then people’s parents drank a shit ton and beat the hell out of them on the regular and nothing was done about it. So in conclusion, you’re completely wrong about this. There’s different strokes for different folks. There are plenty of people out there who didn’t have strong connections with their family, but they had a lot of discipline and let me let you know that didn’t work out quite well. They’re angry adults with no connection to their family.

  16. A "judge" rules against using "unborn human being" even though it is literally referring to the same thing, yet they use "gender affirming "care"" with abandon even though it is literally the opposite of healthcare or medicine…right…makes perfect sense.

  17. As a middle school teacher of 39 years, the administrators in my later years reflected gentle parenting as a model in the school setting. In a school of 1500+ students, a lack of boundaries resulted in chaos and an unhealthy environment.

  18. A good example of gentle parenting (although it wasn't called that then) was when I was a pre-teen, and I wanted to go to a sleep-over. My mom said I could go as long as I did my chores, and gave her the number of the mother who was hosting the party so she could speak to her. I had to earn the right to go by not only doing my chores, but coming home right after school, etc. (basically being a good kid for an entire week). I thought it was so unfair! But I did as I was told, and the day of the party, my best friend and I went to her house to get her clothes, and I asked her if her mom had made her jump through hoops to be able to go. I was shocked when she said she hadn't told her yet! We breezed through the house to her room, got her stuff, and as we were leaving, she told her mom she'd be back tomorrow or the next day. Her mom just said ok When we got outside, my friend started crying. I asked what was wrong, thinking I sure wished I had a mom like hers, and she said, "i wish my mom would love me as much as yours does." It's been almost 60 years since that happened, but I never forgot it, and never replaced loving my child by giving in to her with teaching her what was expected of her. She knew I loved her.
