Gentle Parenting, is it what your kids really need? Guest: Luke Adsit

In this interview, Luke Adsit attempted to advocate for gentle or peaceful parenting, focusing on discipline through correction and instruction rather than punishment. Despite his efforts, Adsit often avoided directly answering the hosts' questions and instead redirected the conversation to broader concepts. His emotional appeals, such as comparing the cessation of spanking to historical injustices like slavery, were seen as manipulative and led to friction with the hosts. This approach appeared to deepen E. A. Maynard's and Mr. Pancakes' mistrust of gentle parenting, reinforcing their belief in traditional methods and skepticism toward Adsit's stance against physical forms of discipline.
