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.

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.
