[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why I hate Janet Lansbury and the cult of gentle parenting. Of course I agree it’s damaging to yell at, shame, and physically punish kids. But my issue is the way She describes her techniques and her genuine expectation that kids will just comply after 2-3 days of consistent gentle boundaries. The first time I tried one of her techniques for holding a boundary I tried for over a month every single day with no results. She claimed it works in 2-3 days. I’ve never felt lonelier. Having a difficult, strong-willed kid is like parenting on a different planet where you are totally on your own because no advice or conventional wisdom works for you, and no one has any sympathy for you because they just assume you’re a spineless idiot doing everything wrong.

So ya, I agree with OP.[/quote]

I never understood Janet Lansbury at all. I really struggled with my strong willed first child so I tried some of her advice and it failed miserably. I then looked into her qualifications and couldn't find much at all so I dismissed her. Seems like a lot of people do find her helpful though.[/quote]
