Has gentle parenting gone too far?
Commentators are questioning whether gentle parenting — an approach that emphasises empathy, emotional validation and avoiding punishment — has gone too far.

Why now: Ongoing cultural debate about parenting styles and whether permissive approaches harm children's discipline.
