The types of advice she gives makes sense coming from the point of view of a nanny. I assume as a nanny that there is a strict schedule to follow, or that it is easier for the nanny to have one.
Really is was reading Tizzie's articles in the early days that helped to contribute to me losing confidence in myself as a parent. Of course it was not just her, it was people in general, other baby programs such as the Baby Whisperer etc. The main problem is that there is no disclaimer with the information stating that there are other ways to do things, it comes across as if it is the only way. Unfortunately main stream media is yet to fully embrace gentle parenting, I know that there are natural parenting publications out there, but to me that is putting my self and my parenting in a box. I would really love to see more articles where different points of view are given on topics. Practical Parenting did one on CC that had articles by both Tizzie and Pinky, I really want to see more of this with other topices, as I feel that it enables parents to make an educated choice, rather than blindly following a method just because it is in a magazine.
