"Gentle parenting" gets a bad rap because of a parents ego. This is a perfect example of gentle parenting when a child is deregulated and then catching yourself while you are becoming deregulated, so you can be available to your kid. The ego makes it impossible for that to happen. You gotta check yourself before yourself first. All the ladies swoon over Jack because they wish th t had a husband who validated and checked his ego, imagine how every kid would feel if this is how thier parents treat
