Im struggling with things at the moment. Gentle parenting a baby i found easier than i am finding gentle parenting my almost three year old. demand feeding, co-sleeping, no cry it out etc etc. Even as a young toddler, allowing her the freedom to explore her world and fulfill her desire to tear the house apart in a quest for discovery. But now she is three...and a confident, self assured, determined three at that(which is great)...but im finding things hard!

She actually has tantrums like a teenager....flies off in a fit of anger, runs to her room yelling, SLAMS THE DOOR, and flops on the floor sobbing ''this is impossible, your not fair'' i have no idea where she has got this from, it certainly isnt behaviour that she has seen here! (doesnt go to day care either).
I want to continue gently guiding her into her childhood.....and teen years....but im not really sure how, or what that even means anymore.
