246. Is gentle parenting just for gentle kids?

If you’ve got a sensitive, “strong-willed” child who seems to have a meltdown over everything, you might be wondering:   "Is gentle parenting even possible for us?"   You’ve tried being calm, patient, and understanding, but your child still pushes back—hard.    The endless tears, the screaming, the arguments... it’s exhausting.    And when gentle parenting doesn’t seem to work, it’s easy to feel like you’re failing.   But here’s the thing most people don’t understand:   Gentle parenting isn’t just for “gentle kids.”    At the core, it’s for all kids—but the sensitive child needs more structure than just “show compassion and patience.”   The problem?    Sensitive kids don’t respond to the same cookie-cutter advice you’ve probably heard a thousand times.   Book a call with my team today: megghanthompsoncoaching.com/book-your-call-now For families with high school aged teens: megghanthompsoncoaching.com/teentalk
