Is permissive parenting right?
While they aren't necessarily bad, permissive parents can be dangerous. However, it is important to recognize that children learn from both negative and positive experiences. They should also be prepared to take responsibility for the actions of their children if they don't discipline them correctly.
They should also be prepared to take action if their child misbehaves.
As a parent, it is important to establish limits and enforce them. Consistency is key.
These rules will help you raise happy, well-adjusted children who are respectful of others and themselves.
Is gentle parenting good?
It depends what you mean with "good." If you're referring to the treatment of children, then I would answer yes. But if you want to know if it is good for them, I will say no. They need to be disciplined and firm at times. If they don't, they won't be able to learn how behave properly.
Children need limits and rules. These rules and limits will help children know what is acceptable behavior. They won't learn how to respect others as well as follow instructions.
If you ask me which parenting style is better, I'd say none. Each of these styles is equally effective. The key is to find the one that is most effective for you and/or your family.
