Gentle Parenting Approach: A Mother’s Perspective on Apologies
February 10, 2025 - 22:06
Kelly Medina Enos, a 34-year-old mother from North Yorkshire, has taken to TikTok to share her unique approach to parenting, particularly regarding the concept of apologies. When her son George, now a toddler, began displaying aggressive behavior by hitting at just 18 months old, Kelly sought guidance online.
Instead of enforcing traditional disciplinary measures, Kelly embraced a gentle parenting philosophy, which emphasizes understanding and empathy over strict rules. She believes that forcing children to say "sorry" can feel disingenuous and may not foster true remorse or understanding of their actions. Instead, she opts for open conversations about feelings and consequences, encouraging George to express himself in healthier ways.
Kelly's approach has resonated with many parents who struggle with similar challenges. By sharing her journey on social media, she hopes to inspire others to adopt a more compassionate and thoughtful method of parenting, focusing on emotional intelligence rather than mere compliance.
