Gentle parenting

Woke kids books

Woke kids books are the worst. When my 3 year old started talking about race and asking questions, I went looking for some books to help with those conversations, and people kept recommending books like Anti-racist Baby, and I was like "this book is nothing, my child will not 'get' this book, this is a cash grab that has nothing to do with actually teaching kids about race or accepting differences or anything, it just exists to make UMC white people feel good about themselves." Useless.

I actually like gentle parenting though. I follow an instagram influencer named Destini Davis who is legitimately helpful and a big proponent of gentle parenting. She's not super touchy feely and her posts are do not feature soft focus and neutral color palettes -- she's just a real person with a young kid and a teen who offers insight into how to set boundaries and get your kids to do things without yelling, hitting, and losing it. I like it! If that's gentle parenting, I am 100% on board. Some of the other GP folks are very irritating though.[/quote]
