The Mom Panel: Gentle Parenting vs. Discipline--Striking the Right Balance

Jackie de Godbout Season 1 Episode 5

In this powerful and heartfelt episode, Jackie, Tiesha, and Jill dive into the often debated world of gentle parenting vs. traditional discipline. From generational habits to deep-rooted cultural norms, we explore how parenting styles shape our children—and ourselves.

Jill brings her passionate perspective on why gentle parenting is more than just a trend—it’s a transformative approach grounded in empathy and connection. Tiesha and Jackie open up about their own journeys, including how they were raised, how spanking became part of their parenting toolbox, and what it’s taken to re-evaluate those choices.

Together, we unpack the myths, the misunderstandings, and the powerful truth that discipline and love don’t have to be opposites. Across cultural backgrounds and personal experiences, we all arrive at one shared understanding: the constant thread in parenting should always be love—even when our methods look different.

Whether you're deep into gentle parenting or trying to find your balance, this episode will challenge, validate, and uplift you.
