[quote=Anonymous]I have a 9 year old son and 7 year old daughter and see this behavior from both their friends/peers: Not listening, directly disobeying, back talking, asking over and over for something after being told no, sneaking things they’ve been told they can’t have. They both have certain friends that I refuse to invite over to our house or drive carpool for any more because these kids are so rude and don’t listen. I don’t think true gentle parenting is the problem, it’s permissive/hands off parenting (these are NOT the same thing). Gentle parenting is being kind and patient w kids while still having standards and expectations for behavior but taking the time to explain expectations gently (but firmly) and teach kids how to behave. Permissive parenting, which I think is often employed by my kids’ peers, would be letting kids do whatever without consequence.[/quote]
