!["Gentle parenting [sic] What a marketing SHIT show. I gave you what you needed 2 decades ago, emotional intelligence and boundaries with consequences this [sic] is the fine balance required, now look at all these parents confused" …Jo Frost](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hlnigskqpixp5277v6dqczdf/bafkreiah6pqvk7hyspned3hdm6rrcdmwr5c5cxmzptebfn3sdnhonlavrq@jpeg)
!["I SAID WHAT I SAID.
And now you, the parent, are getting scolded for 'over correcting' well, it is you doing however who do you think led you there? Yes, the parenting arena, for simply following advice you thought was sound on social media led by some with very clear agendas and it weren't to help YOU but themselves. I'm reading your emails, you're confused and don't know what to do for the best. It's not right you're in this space.
Let’s be clear: there are 4 types of parenting styles, and when we spend most of our time in the authoritative space where I’ve lived [ NOT authoritarian big difference ] for decades, working in real homes with real families with real issues your children thrive, and your family stays strong and connected.
I gave you that foundation over 20 years ago publicly and I’ll say it now you need to have discernment out there on social media.
There are a lot of voices and not all sound, I see you, I - see - you, and I'm coming for you on behalf of the children, y'all talking about parenting but many can’t walk the talk. No wisdom. No overall lived expertise... And that’s not okay...it's morally wrong, I feel protective of you all because your family matters. Your children matter.
Parenting isn’t about “doing trends.” It’s about applying what truly works for your family. Jo xx"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hlnigskqpixp5277v6dqczdf/bafkreicgc67vh3vidnz5p5skkp2qaxv2vu2hrtexlwhlkpolxlpndeftne@jpeg)
