Don’t let your kid run into the street and get hit by a car – The Gentle Parenting Way S07E01 Sujai and Vivek talk about how do we guide our kids without using consequences, punishment and rewards? In the Gentle Parenting philosophy we choose not to force our kids to do things against their will. Yet we still guide them, support them and help them learn about life.
