In recent years, gentle parenting has become popular among parents but it sometimes can be challenging to pull off. With its emphasis on building connections and acknowledging feelings, this parenting philosophy helps children feel supported and valued while giving parents the tools to calmly guide them as they grow and develop. Yet, while this approach seems infinitely better than the authoritarian styles of previous generations, parents often find that it can be challenging to execute with kids that are more strong-willed and oppositional. Leading child and family expert Dr. Paul Sunseri reveals there are practical, effective, evidence-based solutions that drastically reduce common daily behavioral challenges. And these solutions are based on a respectful, loving style that today’s parents prefer. He is a clinical psychologist and developer of Intensive Family-Focused Therapy, a highly effective form of family-based mental health care.
