Is Gentle Parenting Crippling the Next Generation? | with Brett Kunkle

I Don't Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEIST

Is the so-called "gentle parenting" movement producing a generation of narcissists? Many Christian parents are ditching the Bible's model for childrearing and instead opting for modern-day secular parenting techniques. What are some of the issues that are arising from this shift, and what worldview underpins these new secular methods?

Listen up if you're a parent, a grandparent, or even a child! For this midweek podcast, our good friend, MAVEN founder, and CIA Instructor, Brett Kunkle, sits down with Frank at the 2024 CrossExamined Instructor's Academy to discuss this new gentle parenting trend, its flaws, future outcomes, and its devastating impact on today’s youth. What exactly is gentle parenting, and how does it work? Should parents revolve their lives around their kids? What wisdom can we glean from the Bible on parenting, structure, and corporal punishment? And should parents always seek to reason with disobedient children? All these questions and more will be addressed in this special CIA edition of "I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist"!
