Gentle Parenting & The Death of Discipline

In this episode, Morgan and Jordan unpack the rise of gentle parenting and ask the hard question: have we confused empathy with the absence of discipline?

What started as a needed correction to harsh, authoritarian parenting has evolved into something else entirely in today’s culture. Endless negotiation, blurred authority, and kids who struggle to tolerate discomfort.

The conversation dives into:

• Where gentle parenting got it right
• Where it may have drifted into permissiveness
• The cultural shift away from structure and hierarchy
• Why children crave leadership more than constant validation
• And how discipline, when done right, is not harm, it’s love

This isn’t a call to go back to fear-based parenting. It’s a call to restore strength, clarity, and confident authority inside the home.
