Description

In this episode of Better Sleep for Babies, we're diving deep into Authoritative Parenting and how it connects to gentle yet effective sleep training methods.

If you’re a tired mom or dad looking for a consistent bedtime routine, toddler sleep help, or want to set boundaries without feeling like a bad parent—this episode is for you.

You’ll learn:

  • What authoritative parenting really is (and how it’s different from authoritarian or permissive parenting)

  • Why being “kind but firm” can help your child learn to fall asleep independently

  • How modern parenting styles like gentle parenting, positive discipline, and respectful parenting overlap with authoritative values

Whether you’re sleep training a baby or facing bedtime battles with a toddler, this episode offers real-life encouragement and tools you can use tonight.
