Curious what people think of this? It’s obviously made to be a critique of the mainstream side and endorsement of the gentle side but honestly neither of them seem overall appealing to me

i think it's a nice flame bait on the left, and a bunch of vague "recognize", "understand", "seen" and "mindful" on the right. the truth is in the middle

Gentle parenting reads like a recipe for parental burn-out.

When I started I think I was more on the left side knowingly or unknowingly, most of the books I read definitely seemed to push to that style. However, over the years we have moved further to the right and especially more so with a neurodivergent child many of those strategies work better for us and him

i haven't followed any parenting tips since I read a few books before my first child. so looking at this, I'd say - I started out closer to mainstream parenting and have over the decade-ish of parenting drifted closer to the gentle parenting side - that drift accelerating over the past few years.
