About this listen
The data is in! Does Gentle Parenting really work? It may feel easier in the moment, but is it actually effective in raising resilient, respectful kids in the long run? In this episode, Brett and Erin take a close look at a new study from The Institute of Family Studies about strict parenting, structure, and its effect on long-term parent-child relationships. While modern culture often equates authority and firm consequences with harshness, the data paints a far more nuanced picture: one where saying “no,” enforcing boundaries, and following through on consequences may create short-term conflict but ultimately lead to long-term trust and respect.
