She claims she "gave us" a foundation 20 years ago, while referencing the four parenting styles, a theory which was developed by Dr. Baumrind *sixty* years ago. (A psychologist who themselves has some problematic viewpoints, imo).
She claims she "gave us" a foundation 20 years ago, when many experts with much greater knowledge, experience, and education than her have been speaking out against such methods for 40+ years. She also referenced the four parenting styles, a theory which was developed by Dr. Baumrind sixty years ago. Dr. Baumrind’s 4 parenting styles Respectful & Collaborative Solves problems with the child Allows children to have developmentally appropriate freedoms Clear, consistent, and fair boundaries Open & honest communication The "Buddy" (aka "permissive") The child feels "in charge", but has to deal with issues they're not developmentally ready for Adult rarely provides or enforces boundaries Adult overindulges children to avoid conflict Authoritarian Strict rules and harsh punishments One-way communication, with little or no consideration for the child's feelings and social-emotional needs Gains compliance through threats and intimidation Neglectful / Absent Adult is either emotionally or physically absent, and emotionally disconnected from the child Provides little nurturance or guidance Seems indifferent to the child's social-emotional needs Seems to have "given up" on the student Jo-Jo (aka Scary Poppins the Super Ninny) claims gentle parenting is a marketing shit show. While it is a marketing term, the basis of relationship-based parenting is grounded in solid evidence, whereas Jo Frost's techniques are well known to be harmful and very out-dated. She claims to have "given us" the foundation 20 years ago... but the fact that her approach hasn't changed much in two decades speaks to her lack of growth as a person and as a self-professed "professional". Jo Frost is absolutely NOT an expert, but claims to be one, and as such, she is a danger to children.
