Gentle Parenting: Does It Work?

[@tinikiadavis7971]

I have daughters who are 6 and 13 months and my husband and I try to enforce that good behavior gives you rewards and bad behavior has consequences. My 6 year old asks for screen time and she understands she has to do homework first. We have workbooks and chapter books that she must do before she has any screen time on the computer or iPad. Her screen time is only 2 hours and that is it. If she has any issue at school or at home with not listening she knows no screen time is the punishment. We will only tell her 3 times with the idea that it is 3 strikes and you are out. We tell her that screen time is a privilege and she needs to have good behavior to get it.

I think this is a good idea rewards and consequences are important when raising children and it sets the tone of what they can expect for different situations that may occur based off their own decisions. Balancing screen time is something we are definitely trying to work on so that it's limited to an extent as well. Thanks for sharing!
