Erin critiques a Motherly article on gentle parenting and questions if a gentle parenting backlash is on the horizon.

Like most fads and trends, gentle parenting can be taken to the extreme and be so distorted it no longer resembles its original form.

She provides 3 tips to decide if parenting advice is a good fit for you, and when to see additional help.

Next, she discusses how to apply gentle parenting techniques when your toddler hits, and how to look at their hitting through a new lens (spoiler: they're not mad, they're scared).

Q&A of the Day

Cassandra asks, "I've done a little research on this but can't seem to find any information for toddler aged breastfeeders. Does my hormonal cycle impact my child through my breast milk? I have noticed that on my really difficult hormonal days my toddler also really struggles. It's like she has PMS too! Of course this could be from her picking up on my mood, but I have long wondered if she's receiving hormones through my milk?"
