Summary
There is an up-and-coming philosophy of parenting called Gentle Parenting. Today's guest, Dilshad from the popular account @thegentlemamma, is sharing her insight on the differences between this philosophy and that of punitive punishment.
Dilshad grew up in a traditional Indian family with typical punitive punishment. When she had her son, she wanted to re-consider all that had been passed down to her by past generations. She then came across the concept of Gentle Parenting, which basically says: no rewards and no punishments.
On today's episode, Lindsey and Dilshad have a gracious conversation about dealing with anger as a parent (and practical tips to help you stop parenting out of anger), the differences between traditional parenting vs. gentle parenting as well as practical implementations.

| 0:10.0 | I'm sure most of you have heard my most downloaded episode |
| 0:13.4 | episode 39 the five biggest mistakes I've made as a mom |
| 0:17.8 | where I confess my battle with frustration with my boys and how I'm working |
| 0:22.1 | toward grace and patience as a mom. |

| 0:31.2 | on the subject. |
| 0:32.4 | Dilshed and I differ in opinion on some things, |
| 0:34.6 | but one of my favorite parts about podcasting, |

| 1:19.5 | So I would really love it if you guys would take a second after listening to the episode to share some encouragement with her a few words through a |
