People Expose Parenting Trends They Very Much Disagree With
There are thousands of different parenting styles. Some people go for a more gentle approach, while others believe in firm boundaries and strict scheduling. It's basically impossible to judge which one is superior, especially when we all have our own subjective understandings of what 'gentle' or 'strict' really means.
So, this is all to say that we can try to look to examples to decide how we want to discipline or not discipline, our children, but at the end of the day each family, each parent, each child has their own unique set of needs and a reinforcement system that works best for them. You may be adequately motivated by words, but other people need boundaries, and concrete rules to help them understand what is and is not okay to do in the real world. That's the whole point of parenting anyway, right? To prepare your children for the real world?
On Reddit people are sharing parenting 'trends' they whole-heartedly disagree with. Luckily nobody is forced to take anyone else's system and impose it onto their own family, but societal pressure is definitely a real thing, and it can cause us to second guess every parenting decision we've ever made. Not to be dramatic.

The wording of this question is pretty thought-provoking. They could have asked about parenting 'methods' but instead, they used the word trend, which kind of insinuates that these are not long-lasting ideas. When something is 'trendy' it's usually something without much substance that blew up, and now it's just the cool thing to do. But there's a major emphasis on the word 'now,' because trends change almost every day and who knows? It's been a few hours already since this list was published, some of these could already be out of style. We'll have to pose a new question in a week or so most likely.

This is a seemingly newer method of parenting, which is the opposite of how many of our parents explained being raised. Tough love is not the objective here. Tough is probably a word that never gets used in these kinds of households. Gentle parenting is not one clear method, but there definitely still needs to be some form of 'parenting' involved in raising kids. They can't raise themselves after all. They needed guidance, as well as feedback on when they were doing well, and doing less than well. There must be a way to parent without doing too much, or too little.
