July 30, 2025 - 22:58
In a recent segment on Fox & Friends, the hosts shared their thoughts on the trending phenomenon of “gentle parenting” as showcased in various TikTok clips. The hosts expressed concern over the approach, suggesting that traditional disciplinary methods, including spanking, might be more effective in teaching children right from wrong. They argued that while gentle parenting emphasizes understanding and empathy, it may lack the necessary boundaries that children need for proper development.
The discussion sparked a heated debate among viewers and parenting experts alike. Some support the idea of gentle parenting, citing studies that suggest non-violent methods foster better emotional health and relationships between parents and children. Conversely, the Fox & Friends hosts emphasized the importance of discipline and structure in a child's upbringing, advocating for a more hands-on approach. This exchange reflects a broader cultural conversation about parenting styles and their long-term effects on children, highlighting the diverse opinions on what constitutes effective child-rearing practices.
