Gentle parenting is NOT what you’re doing!

There is nothing worse the seeing parents record, disciplining and handling their kids. You will NEVER, have never seen a video of me doing it and never will. When I am parenting I am in the moment, I am not thinking about a camera!📸 #parentyourself #lemon8creator #homeschooling

Your kid doesn’t need privacy. They need parenting

They call it “gentle parenting” now. But what I see… is moms scared to upset their kids. Afraid to say no. Afraid to check the phone. Afraid to be the bad guy. I check the tablet. I open the apps. I watch the videos. I watch the games. I will check his future phone. I will check the DMs.
