[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question: is there any research showing that gentle parenting works? OP please let go of thinking you have to parent this way and give yourself the freedom to figure out what works for you and your family.[/quote] Gentle parenting is a form of authoritative parenting. Authoritative parenting has been shown with superior outcomes in studies. https://parentingscience.com/authoritative-parenting-style/ That being said it does require a lot of self-regulation from parents, something the OP seems to be lacking. It is of course easier to be authoritarian or permissive neither of which is associated with as positive outcomes. (Neglectful parenting has the worst outcomes according to studies.) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6323136/#:~:text=This%20work%20consistently%20demonstrated%20that,of%20neglectful%20parents%20were%20poorest.
