I totally agree with this. It’s ok for children to be bored, they learn to use their imagination and not to trash the house!
My sisters both do ‘gentle-ish’ parenting
ie they try to be gentle and understand their feelings to an extent but they will also discipline when needed. Neither my niece nor nephew have ever trashed a room!
This! My boy is autistic so I will always understand his emotions and give him some slack but he still gets told off, he smashed my iPad about a year ago and I didn't get him another one until he learnt to respect belongingsMy sisters both do ‘gentle-ish’ parenting
Completely - also children do need boundaries as it makes them feel safe and understand the world better, they also have to be allowed to figure things out for themselves sometimes otherwise you raise people who don’t know their a from their elbow. Gentle parenting isn’t the same as molly-coddling, it’s more focussing on consequences rather than unrelated punishment (from my experience anyway).My sisters both do ‘gentle-ish’ parenting
I’ll be honest, I try my best but some days I’m done with it and some straight up 1980s parenting comes out like a possessed spirit

She needs to feed them some decent nutritional food they are both grey
Why is she doing a Q&A on kids eating when she can't feed them well herself.
I don't get why she's this self-proclaimed parenting expert when her kids are constantly micromanaged to the point they can't be left unattended upstairs in their own house
Make it make sense
"Fridayitis" "reconnection activities" "they need 1-2-1 time" "decompression time after school" babes just let them be kids there doesn't have to be a diagnostic for every mood their in

Looks like she’s doing it for an ad! Do they ever eat as a family? I’ve clocked her ‘intuitive eating’ reels and it comes across as quite disordered…
I watched her WIEINAD the other week and have opinions. Like why is she doing these reels? Who do they serve? Is she just doing then because she’s slim? Not helpful from what I could see. Did laugh at her saying because she’s a SAHM mum she could cook mostly from scratch over a clip of her sprinkling a few crumbs of shop bought granola on her breakfast
it’s piss easy to make your own if you’ve got the luxury of time.
It irrationally annoys me the way she says ‘get ready with me as a mum of two little boys’. Makes them sound like babies
It’s all she has.
also, on the topic of being irrationally annoyed about things, why is tidying up now called resetting? Who comes up with this utter balls?
The way she says boys goes through me🫣
Littool boiiiyss
Who has time to make Halloween lollies and then crafts after school I mean if you do do that then great but when I get home at 3.30 it’s emptying/re filling lunch boxes

I don’t get the organised activities after school.
her boys have just spent 6hours doing organised activities at school so why the flip does she do more.
my kids (I have 6) have never needed or had reconnection activities. They come home ,have a drink and snack if they want and watch telly for a bit to wind down and I don’t feel they are disconnected from the family

Literally, my kid is too tired after being stimulated all day at school if I planned tons I activities I think he would lose his tit
She doesn’t like them having to much tv time but I don’t see what harm it does for a few hours after school? Let them chill it’s probably why they don’t know how to be independent and play by themselves she’s always got to be there in there faces and doing things for them all the time.Literally, my kid is too tired after being stimulated all day at school if I planned tons I activities I think he would lose his tit
Exactly she needs to loosen up a little,in all honesty she needs to work on them dreadful dinners she feeds them rather than worrying about screen time
