CHANCES ARE, YOU’VE HEARD OF OR SEEN SOMEONE DEMONSTRATING GENTLE PARENTING. THE
PARENTING APPROACH IS AN OFFSHOOT OF AUTHORITATIVE PARENTING — WHICH, AS FAR AS
WE’RE CONCERNED, IS THE SINGLE-MOST EFFECTIVE PARENTING STYLE — AND IS GROUNDED
IN FOUR CENTRAL ELEMENTS: RESPECT, UNDERSTANDING, EMPATHY, AND BOUNDARIES. IT’S
BASED ON RESEARCH THAT SHOWS STRONG AND HEALTHY BONDS WITH THEIR PARENTS CAN
IMPROVE A CHILD’S LONG-TERM MENTAL HEALTH AND RESILIENCE, AND IS SHOWN TO BE
EFFECTIVE. THERE’S CERTAINLY A LOT TO LOVE IN THE PARENTING APPROACH. BUT IT’S
ALSO NOT FOR THE WEAK OF HEART, AS IT REQUIRES A LOT OF PATIENCE TO DO WELL. SO,
IS IT WORTH IMPLEMENTING? HERE’S WHAT TO KNOW.

TIPS AND TRICKS
A BREATHING TECHNIQUE TO MASTER
ABOUT TO LOSE YOUR COOL? AS TRITE AS IT SOUNDS, TAKING A DEEP BREATH IS AN
IMPORTANT WAY TO SIGNAL TO YOUR BODY THAT WHILE THE THREAT MAY FEEL
OVERWHELMING, YOU’RE ACTUALLY SAFE. PSYCHOTHERAPIST LESLEY SMITH
[[link removed]]
RECOMMENDS A QUICK EXERCISE CALLED A 4-6-8 BREATH. FIRST, BREATHE IN FOR A COUNT
OF FOUR, HOLD YOUR BREATH FOR A COUNT OF SIX, EXHALE FOR A COUNT OF EIGHT, THEN
REPEAT. “WHEN YOU EXHALE LONGER THAN YOU INHALE, IT CUES TO YOUR BODY THAT
EVERYTHING IS CALMER,” SMITH SAYS. COUNTING, SHE ADDS, CAN ALSO DISTRACT YOU
FROM WHAT’S STRESSING YOU OUT.
HERE ARE A FEW MORE WAYS TO CALM DOWN WHEN YOU’RE ABOUT TO LOSE IT.

TIPS AND TRICKS
BRINGING UP SOMETHING SENSITIVE? STAY LASER-FOCUSED ON A POTENTIAL SOLUTION
WHEN YOU’RE LISTENING TO YOUR PARTNER VENT, PROBLEM-SOLVING IS LARGELY SOMETHING
YOU WANT TO AVOID UNLESS THEY ASK FOR YOUR HELP. BUT WHEN YOU’RE BRINGING UP A
TOUCHY SUBJECT, EXPERTS SAY IT’S SMART TO BE SOLUTION-ORIENTED. WHY? BECAUSE IF
YOU KEEP THE DISCUSSION CENTERED ON WHATEVER YOUR PARTNER IS DOING, THEY’LL
LIKELY FEEL BACKED INTO A CORNER. COME FROM A PLACE OF LOVE, OFFER A FEW
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS — SOME OF WHICH SHOULD BE COLLABORATIVE — AND MOVE ON FROM
THERE.
