Emily Perkins, a kindergarten teacher from Kentucky, advocates for parents to firmly instruct their children with 'No' to instill respect and discipline. In a viral TikTok video, she critiques the 'gentle parenting' approach that often allows children to misbehave without consequences. She argues that teaching children to respect boundaries, such as being told 'no', is essential for their development and for effective learning in school environments. Perkins's viewpoint highlights the need for balance between empathy and discipline in parenting.
Congratulations, you're a pushover. You can validate your child's feelings without being a pushover.
If I can't tell your child 'No' as an adult, and they don't respect the 'No,' they're basically unteachable.
