Dealing with Judgmental Comments About Our Parenting

Dealing with Judgmental Comments About Our Parenting

From Respectful Parenting: Janet Lansbury Unruffled by JLML Press

About this episode

Janet offers advice on handling judgmental comments from family regarding parenting choices.

A parent is concerned about the negative, judgmental comments her parents and in-laws make about her children’s behavior and their parenting. She writes that she and her husband try to implement Janet’s advice (with a mix of Montessori). While she says she isn’t personally offended by their old school opinions, she does worry about “the confusing, sometimes negative, shaming, mixed messages” and how those might affect her children. In this encore episode, Janet offers advice how she and her husband can gracefully navigate “the outside noise.” Janet's "No Bad Kids Master Course" is available at ⁠⁠NoBadKidsCourse.com⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠JanetLansbury.com⁠⁠.
