  1. Hahahaha OMG! NEEDLES! There's another short video I watch from a ER tech who says PLEASE don't threaten your kids with shots to get them to behave hahaha diff setting I know, it just hit my giggle spot.

  2. A lot of this was just you explaining why they needed to put on shoes and pants which imo is much more effective than just asking a kid to make their own decisions when they can barely do math

  3. Ha!🤣
    Yeah, no…when they are like that, they don't get a choice. You get the stuff out and dress them. Eventually they stop fighting and they learn to just get dressed on their own. Don't bother reasoning with them. "Because I said so" and "because I am gonna whap you on the butt" are acceptable mantra to live by. Keep your sense of humor. They will learn how to be funny and become more enjoyable people in the end, the kind who know what your boundaries are, and when they can push against them.
    Grama of 3 here.

  4. I feel like I do both
    Good morning mamaaaas

    No we do gotta get up
    I gave you 5 more minutes
    Nope move those legs some people can't so be thankful
    Let's go pee
    I'll brush my teeth with you

    30 mins later after taking a bath and getting ready but they went back to sleep
    ALRIGHT YOU GOTTA GET UP
    "I'm TIIIIIREUUURRRD MOM!"
    well kiddo me too and we can take a nice after school nap. Get going.
    If you hurry up and stop fussing I might turn on a episode of bluey while we eat breakfast.
    I need that back pack ready and shoes on and I'll think about it.

    Exhausted 8 year old launches with sudden energy ready to take on the epitome of life

    I should edit that if I could put this in a kids book, I would say of course, that there will come a time you're walking out the door and your child will crumble their emotional well being because they accidentally spilled juice on their outfit or decide said outfit they chose is now obsolete in the worst ways imaginable.
    I gotta stand and firm and remind them it's time to gooooo we had moments before to decide and we're at the door now. Don't stop in the walkway of the door. Go through it.

  5. They are both good parenting just the second one is WAY better becauss the first one is just gonna give you a kid that is spoiled and or thinks they own the place and the second one is showing them that even if you don’t want something you just gotta deal with it and that’s perfect because that’s teaching them for when they are grown up

  6. When the kid wants to wear shorts in freezing temps I have him go outside for a few minutes and see if he's good with his life choices. And no he can't steal my coat.

  7. As an autistic and ADHD person with PDA, this would have helped me so much to be offered choices, and included on the "why." Children aren't stupid, and explaining things can help them feel included and safe so that what you're asking feels less scary, controlling, or one sided ❤️

  8. I would kinda do a combo of both methods. Slightly scary facts (like she did with the shoes vs. tetanus and needles) to get them to listen in certain situations, I would pick outfits the night before and lay them out for them to choose from the next morning and tell them if they don't choose soon enough, I will choose for them.

  9. It's the repetition of "pretty please" that had me dying.

    I thought that's what it meant at first, but gentle parenting isn't always asking nicely and pleading with your child to do something without raising your voice; it's about teaching kids the difference between making good choices and the consequences when they make bad ones.

    My 5 year old had a tantrum yesterday because he chose to sleep longer instead of being able to watch his videos after I explained his options. He then got angry because I said no he couldn't because he chose extra sleep over videos.

    I told him he could choose to make a different decision tomorrow, but today it had already been made and we were leaving.

    He woke up this morning, I gave him the same choices. He made a better decision for him, got up and dressed with a little help (school uniform buttons are hard) and he got to watch his videos for 15 minutes while I was getting myself ready to leave. A good morning was had by all and we weren't late for school 😁

    Immediate consequences and conversations are what gentle parenting are about, not zero consequences.

  10. As a retired Psychologist, one of the biggest mistakes parents make is giving small children way too many choices….children do not have the brain power to fight the confusion and impulse control of a dozen choices…Love how you parent!!!!
