Boys don’t need any special parenting (neither do girls). What they DO need is parents to raise them compassionately, respectfully and free of gender stereotypes! . . . #gentleparenting #gentlediscipline #positiveparenting #positivediscipline #consciousparenting #consciousdiscipline #attachmentparenting #naturalparenting #mindfulparenting #peacefulparenting #genderneutral #raisingboys #raisinggirls #boymom #boymum #boymama #boymumma #mothertoboys #mumtoboysWhat does it mean when we talk about kids respecting us? There’s so much talk around “kids need to learn respect”, but that just isn’t true! You don’t learn respect. You don’t teach respect. Respect is something that we, as parents - and caregivers, earn. Respect develops naturally when kids are inspired by adults. When adults act with empathy and compassion. . . If you think of the people that you respect in your life, they are those who inspire, connect, achieve and act with kindness, humility and good humour. . Respect is absolutely, categorically never achieved through shaming, punishment, exclusion or guilt. The only thing that develops here is disconnect and fear. . If you want your kids to respect you more, the solution is very simple.....you have to start by respecting them first. . . . #gentleparenting #consciousparenting #mindfulparenting #positiveparenting #peacefulparenting #attachmentparenting #gentlediscipline #gentledisciplinebook #positivediscipline #kidstoday #respectnotfear #sarahockwellsmithIf parents were truly educated about the normal sleep behaviours of babies and children and the illusion of the perfect 'contented little baby' sleeping 12 hours at night by as many weeks was shattered and replaced with realistic, evidence based information then everything would change. .

How to Stop Cosleeping and Bedsharing….
One of the questions I’m most commonly asked is “when do children grow out of the need to sleep with somebody?”, or in other words – when do children naturally outgrow bedsharing? Continue reading
