Gentle Parenting
Gentle parenting is a collective term embracing a range of parenting approaches which are respectful and work on the premise of treating children how you would like to be treated yourself. There are many ways parents approach this. Some choose to practice Attachment Parenting, a term developed by Dr William and Martha Sears. Responsive or positive parenting are other words used to describe these philosophies.
