About this episode
Georgia and Kelsey discuss the implications of gentle parenting and share personal anecdotes on discipline and parenting choices.
Georgia & Kelsey aren't holding back this week. Gentle parenting? A generation of "snowflakes"? Kelsey thinks we're raising kids who can't sit a driving test or face a job interview, and she's got the receipts. When Bodhi begged not to go to his gymnastics competition, she made him go anyway. He came home with a medal. Georgia, the reformed shy kid, shares a story about her own dad refusing to let her quit a beauty pageant. Inside this episode: Why saying "no" makes your child feel safer , not sadder The one parenting label that could be quietly damaging your kid The gentle-parenting "trauma" myth and what actually causes it Plus: a homeopathy kit vs. a full Boots haul, feral camping toddlers, and the Skye Newman lyric no mum wants blasting from the back seat. Top five holiday-packing regrets included, starting with the first aid kit Kelsey flat-out refuses to bring. Grab a cuppa. This one gets spicy. A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.
