Gentle Parenting 

When a parent practices a lack of parenting and giving the child what it wants when it wants it, and refuses to do anything the child doesn't like or take any advice to help them almost always using this technique as the excuse.

I need to give my child a bath, but he doesn't like it so he doesn't get bathed because I practice GENTLE PARENTING.

Gentle parenting is a parenting approach focused on empathy, respect, and understanding, which guides children using consistent boundaries and positive discipline rather than punishment or force. This style emphasizes building a strong parent-child connection and teaching children to manage their emotions and make good choices by modeling desired behaviors and communicating with compassion. The goal is to raise confident, independent, and emotionally resilient children.

I want my child to grow up independent and emotionally intelligent, so I use gentle parenting techniques to help them learn these qualities from a young age.
