Gentle Parenting

I am almost daunted, but today I’ll make an attempt to talk through the trend of gentle parenting with the lens of data. I’m going to do three things.

Second, I’ll discuss the evidence on gentle parenting specifically. Third, I’ll briefly touch on the question of time-outs, which I have written about in more detail before.
