Are you rasing your kids like how your parents raised you ?

So I got thinking from what I've seem and heard from story's about how some parents doing the same thing as their own parents did even if it was the best then some are flipping the switch and breaking the cycle and doing it how they wanted their parents to be more like so how do you think your doing it like your parents/ caregiver or what you wanted or what you think is best ?

I'm doing some of the same things my parents did and changing the things I didn't agree with.

I’m doing a bit of both. My parents raised us in a Godly Christian home. I will continue to do that. But they were definitely more of the authoritarian parents. And I don’t want to do that. I want to be the opposite and be like a gentle parent but of course with boundaries and discipline as well. But in a loving way. I want my children to be able to trust and love me and their family and not have to feel like they will be judged for every single thing they do

@Gabrielle gentle parenting isn't letting the kid do as they want it's more of a understanding of why can't you do x after being told no more or less there is punishments in it but not like strict parenting if done right

@Jenny that's good

My parents where quick to anger, threats, hitting, punishment, you name it. Not the nicest and I still resent them for it. I’m trying to gentle parent. My partner parents like his did quick to anger and punishment but I’m trying to get him to switch because in my opinion it’s not healthy or beneficial.

@Bella strict ,anger , threats , hitting and punishments (depends on what kind) teaches the kid to gaslight lie and learn to hide things and tell who's walking to their door by foot steps

If I can accomplish a fraction of what my parents did, I'll be pleased. They were excellent parents, and I'm eternally grateful for all that they invested in me unto this day.

Welcome to my life homie. It SUCKS. I will never lay a hand on my child, I try not to raise my voice obviously I am not perfect, but I try my hardest every day. I want to be the opposite of my parents.

@Bella as long as you don't follow in there raising of you and have changed enough where it your own way of doing it is fine Noone can be 100% prefect but everyone does their best for breaking the cycle of being raised in a overly strict household

Yes for sure. That’s what I believe it is. But some people think it’s letting your kids do whatever haha so I was clarifying for someone who may have thought that

@Gabrielle to much gentle parenting makes spoiled entitled brats but a good mix makes a good person
