[quote=Anonymous]I’m an authoritative parent to my oldest, who is now 20, and a gentle parent to my youngest, who is 15. There’s overlap, of course. Each child is parented according to what they need. Neither needed punishment, but my oldest has autism and ADHD and drove us crazy with his particular set of inattention and social deficits for 18 years, despite having the sweetest nature and best intentions. Youngest has none of these challenges. Both are generally compliant and full of goodwill. Neither my husband nor I were rebellious teens and our kids aren’t either, so gentle parenting can absolutely work! [/quote]
