What is gentle parenting and why is it making waves?

Gwenna Laithland remembers the exact moment she realized she was a “very reactive parent” and wanted to change. It was when her daughter was 6 years old, and Laithland was struggling to keep her temper in check. 

“I would get triggered by my own kid, which honestly happens to a lot of parents. Kids know how to push every button you’ve got right and it’s easy. And at one point, I had lost my temper. I yelled at my daughter and I watched her visibly flinch. And I was like, ‘No, I don’t like that.’ ” she recalls. “That’s how I started addressing how I was communicating with her, because I didn’t ever want to see her flinch because I had hollered at her ever again.”
