Is “gentle parenting” helping—or hurting—your kids in the long run?

You'll find out in this top 10 episode flashback, as Steve and Mary Alessi discuss the hot topic of discipline versus gentle parenting, tackling everything from kiddie tables to tantrums in public. Together, they pull back the curtain on raising four kids with different personalities, sharing hard-won wisdom (and a few hilarious mishaps) about what really works when it comes to raising confident, secure children.

You'll find out why real discipline—and not just keeping the peace—sets your child up for future success and happiness, and how following through on boundaries makes all the difference.

The Alessis get honest about guilt, tough seasons, and the temptation to be your child’s “best friend,” all while encouraging modern parents to take back their authority, trust their instincts, and raise kids everyone loves to be around.
