As a fellow parent of a 2yo, I have found that the Big Little Feelings approach resonates with my husband and me! They kind of bristle against calling it “gentle parenting” – if I were to sum it up, it’s more like, “your feelings are okay, but also there are boundaries, we live in a society.” They talk a lot about related consequences for discipline – you throw your food, snack is all done; you throw a toy, it gets put away; you splash water out if the bath, bath time is done. My dude is only 28mo but I definitely think he’s getting it, because he’ll narrate it back to me sometimes. That’s not to say they won’t tantrum! They will. But if you hold the boundary at least most of the time then they know you mean what you say and they will move on. If this also resonates with you, I recommend their course & podcast and following their Instagram!
