[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gentle parenting does not at all say anything about being child led on milestones. It’s just about how you hold firm boundaries. Each of your posts talks about how you let your child set boundaries, not you. That’s fine, but that is not gentle parenting.

What if your daughter felt she wasn’t ready for vaccinations? The examples just go on and on. If anything, gentle parenting says that kids feel safer when they can tell that adults are in control of structure and boundaries. The gentle part is in how you respond to their distress at bumping up against those boundaries. Letting kids decide their own major life decisions is scary, according to gentle parenting.

I think your post was, as you said, just hoping to find other parents who think pacifiers and not potty training past 3 are fine, and it seems like they are not to most of us, but I’m sure others will come along to affirm your choices.[/quote]

Op here - correct it isn't gentle parenting, I read a bit and that isn't how I want to parent, I am mainly child led. Janet Lansbury is a good example.

She cried and cried for the vaccines so we chose not to give them. They're don't do anything anyway so there was no real pressure to get them. But actual important things will happen when they need to. I wanted to see if people are thinking what someone said in the store about my daughter looking too old for her pacifier. It's fine that people think that way, but it's not enough to change my way, I was interested to see if others were having the same approach. I didn't even bring up potty training, but I will defend my reason as training too early often causes problems down the line. So while I might wait later than it is possible to do so, I won't be doing it too early by trusting her[/quote]

Wait, did you just say you didn’t give your kid vaccines because she cried? I’m officially calling troll on this whole thread. [/quote]

Op here- she would not stay still, the paediatrician said to book another day, I decided it wasn't worth her feeling that way again, we did try to talk about it. I am not anti or pro vaccine. I had my COVID vaccine [/quote]

is this serious? because your toddler cried at a shot?  10 year olds cry and still get them.... [/quote]
