I have been committed to gentle parenting since my first child was born, nearly 3 years ago now. There were times when I wondered if I was doing the right thing, 'creating a monster' or just wished I could have a day off, but for the most part, it's been a wonderul journey. DS is now really blossoming. His personality is really starting to shine. He's so cool, calm and collected. He's loving and thoughtful. He's gentle and caring of other's needs. He copes well with difficult things like haircuts and doctors and daycare. He's centered. Inquisitive. Independent. Self-assured. Confident. He loves his friends and family fiercely. He's protective. He's kind.

So.. I thought in light of a few threads we've had about frustration/exasperation with gentle parenting, we could have a celebration thread too.

Post all the wonderful things about your gentle parented children here, that you think have stemmed from the way you've parented.

May it be a source of inspiration for anyone having a difficult 'gentle parenting' day or wondering if gentle parenting is worthwhile.
