#380 The Dark Side of Gentle Parenting: What Viral Influencers Get Wrong | Brett & Erin Kunkle
About this episode
In this episode, Alisa Childers discusses the implications of gentle parenting with Brett and Erin Kunkle, exploring its biblical foundations and cultural influences.
Gentle parenting is everywhere—but is it biblical? In this episode, I’m joined by Brett and Erin Kunkle of Maven to ask what’s really underneath one of today’s most popular parenting movements. Is gentle parenting just a kinder, more compassionate approach—or is it built on a worldview that quietly redefines sin, authority, discipline, and the role of parents? We talk about the overlap between gentle parenting, progressive theology, critical theory, and expressive individualism. We also ask the big question: Who gets the final word in our homes—God and His Word, or our children and their feelings? Brett and Erin help us break down the assumptions behind the movement, respond to popular gentle parenting videos, and explain why this conversation matters for parents, grandparents, pastors, teachers—and anyone who cares about the next generation.
