Does gentle parenting always work?

With a new sibling especially a baby there is avoidance, jealousy, overly involved aspects. I parent my 5 year old the same as my other 3 children. He makes a mess he needs to clean it up to the best of his abilities. He has outbursts, but I believe in time out and not everyone agrees with me. I'm a very neutral parent so I have patience and everyone has days where they're at the tail end of their patience..... You are not harming him if it works and it isn't physical. Everyone isn't going to parent the same way. YOU'RE doing your best and you have this!!!! Especially with a new baby everyone is tired and emotions are running high for everyone right now. If you want to talk don't be a stranger and drop a message.

Maybe don’t do the bathroom just because it could get you in trouble with my daughter who is also autistic tho I don’t do gentle parenting I treat her just like my other kids and when she gets in trouble I put her in her room with the lights out or if that’s not working then yea I put her in another room with less stuff or I just take out certain things from her bedroom for the moment but yea at a certain point gentle parenting just doesn’t work anymore

As an autistic person with autistic kids- gentle parenting is the way to go. My kids are 10 and 11 and we don’t have issues like this. And locking him in a bathroom in the dark even for a minute sounds traumatizing.

Um don’t do that, locked in a dark bathroom alone? I understand being fed up and at the end of your tether but you need to find other things to help. They will also just become desensitised to it over time and it will stop working you’ll end up having to keep doing more and more extreme things, do you have any professional support in place?

Gentle parenting is not permissive parenting. It does not mean you don't discipline your child. It does not mean that you don't set rules or boundaries and that there are no consequences for their actions. It just means the approach to discipline is different. We take the time to explain to our children what they have done wrong, the effect their behavior has on others and what the consequences will be for their actions. It differs from the "Because I Said So model" where children are just expected to act blindly and mostly out of fear. It also typically means that you don't physically hit your child.

Gentle Parenting does work but you guys dont understand most of the gentle.... is Consequence Parenting. It simply.means to not give a child a certain reaction but enforce rules and boundaries meaning if they make a mistake they have to pay a consequence

Only shouting works for my son. Talking gently, redirecting, consequences are a waste of time
