In this episode of She Wolf Alchemy, Ashley and Ress dive deep into the topic of gentle parenting, especially focusing on the Black child. Bucking tradition and critiques from older generations, they passionately explain that gentle parenting is far from letting kids run wild. Instead, it’s about nurturing emotionally intelligent, self-aware, and empathetic little humans. They tackle misconceptions like ‘spare the rod, spoil the child’ and share personal experiences. They even touch on co-parenting challenges and dealing with family boundaries. With humor and heart, they explore the importance of creating safe spaces at home, while also ensuring kids are well-prepared to tackle the world. All in all, this is a heartfelt conversation about breaking generational cycles and guiding kids with love rather than fear.
