Let us all agree that EVERY child needs a parent who will do morally right by them. Learn to become more attuned and connected. Uphold boundaries but also deliver on their word. Build trust with following through and lovingly develop more patience to understand them better and so much more.
GP was a rebrand name that i believe has back fired on methods I’ve been teaching publicly for over 2 decades and might I add many other professionals too. So many parents come to my private practice looking to untangle and course correct from them saying they have been gentle parenting.
Parents need to know the difference with Parenting styles Authoritative is assertive behavior that fosters two way respectful loving relationships, with consequences…yes children do need to learn accountability.
Authoritarian is strict one way street,iron hand,no relationship with what parents today call punishment…not a style I’ve ever seen fit to raise a child.
Let’s not use these 2 words Gentle Parenting to cause a family war between parents needing to feel right, let’s support eachother, it’s hard enough as it is out here, we need eachothers support as compassionate neighbors,community, spirit to uplift eachother. Your child is yours but all children are ours together. They needs us adults more now than ever in this new tech era. So if I can conclude let us be Gentle with eachother please,keep calm and carry on parenting.

………..
This practice has become a real issue.
Teachers are reporting the difficulty of educating through notifications, consoling children breaking down who feel pressured to respond immediately to their parents anxiety, causing anxiety for themselves at school. The average student interrupted takes at least 15mins to get back into the ‘zone’ after being disturbed. Most of the times these texts are of no emergency,just simply qs that could of waited or that do not require a child’s decision….but a parents!
If you are one of these parents, take a moment to not respond defensively but to maybe look at how you can minimize and uphold some healthier boundaries.
Perhaps it’s texting just twice before and after school?
Perhaps it’s thinking for 1 minute before sending, asking yourself is this really that important that it can’t wait.
Remember, do your children need to even know,oversharing is a boundary issue.
There is an attack right now of our educational system and an attack on our very own dedicated teachers who just simply feel passionate to educate our most precious. Teachers are leaving this industry because of a lack of support from those higher up who need to do more for them……however to receive a lack of support from parents too is just the last straw. How did it get this way?
Come on parents do the right thing take accountability and look at how you can help to be a part of the solution your end.
Tell your children too,no silly txts just emergency,because we know in the USA with the lack of gun control that’s STILL needed.
Thank you for reading, what do you think about this situation? Jo xx

Loud and clear someone’s got to be the voice of reason, tell it straight and you know you can trust me to also be honest with you all, in the hope it will penatrate moments of your focus to digest what’s being said so you can sit in thought and spring into action!! For your children’s sake….because nicely nicely is not landing with most of you out here.
HERE ARE THE FACTS:
IT IS A LANDMINE in the virtual landscape of Social media …
Children are dying because they are exposed to challenges and trends that have killed them.
Cyber bullying has increasing youth suicide rates.
Children are exploited by predators manipulating your photos. sexualizing your children to sick people.
Children ARE simulating addictive behaviour from too much time on this tool of dopamine high…becoming aggressive and desperate.
When will you step up as the parent and change this situation in your household?
When will you realize your child is not excempt.
Your duty as a parent is to protect,so do that. If you are too busy worried about comparing yourself to your children’s parents how are you protecting your children? Keep your focus on your household…REGULATE …. MODERATE the age your kids can have social media at the tip of their fingers. You are throwing them to the lions.
YES YOU, THE PEOPLE THEY TRUST, LOVE AND LOOK UP TO .It starts with YOU.
YOU GOT THIS COME ON! 🔥👊🏾

These states have made it clear they support the gun lobby NOT OUR CHILDREN, not the people!
No permit, puts so many of our young teenagers in danger. Those in DV relationships, those in vulnerable communities those whos homes are unsafe due to neglectful parents who leave guns around their toddlers. Suicide rates increased with teens, mental health increased,young teens who carry their egos on their sleeve,not wanting to lose face. The safety of our living environments are NOT safer with more guns!
Parents you have such a tough job on your hands, like theres not enough stress already , it is gonna have to start as I always say at home, how you raise your kids, the responsibility you uphold because these governments are not looking after your children AND parents have no issue with these polices either…..they care about money over children’s lives. My heart weighs heavy for all the families who know that doing the right thing is NOT this. How many children, when is enough… – Jo 💔
I’m tired of hearing all this conflicting advice on IG and Tik Tok about how to handle your childs resistance but No one EVER addresses the parents when they ask “Well what about if they fight me or slap me or get aggressive after what you said.”
Yup it goes crickets…
So there, I’ve said it, take heed to the advice in the post and trust me you will totally eliminate the struggle.
You gotta be able to walk the talk, What Would Jo Do? Enough theory base, let’s get REAL base! Jo xx

For some it is the distance that they feel safe within, in order to share and go deeper,for some the level at which their bodies can feel at ease, sometimes I’m on the floor,sometimes they are, or we hold equal footing,the TIME Together as different people process at different speeds to articulate. Experience allows you to ‘feel’ the energy between you both,read the non verbal language, hear what’s not being shared. It is the same for children, we need to observe, attune, we do that when we become the masters of switching off everything around us until the only people who matter are the ones focused on.
Children speak loud… we just don’t always ‘see’ it. Jo xx
