Field Guide Entry: Loved every single second

I bought this book originally to support a content creator that I have followed for a long time now. Her quick wit, millennial mind and love of swear words drew me instantly to her content. Since I have enjoyed her content free of charge for years, I wanted to support her new endeavor. I have bought only a few parenting books over the years and leave them feeling like a hot bag of garbage left too long in the sun. This book however was completely different! I listened to the audiobook and I am SO glad I did. Her narration is playful, empathetic and full of sass. I loved every single second of it. As the reader (listener) you can tell these topics are important to her and delivers it in a way that is non judgmental and usually accompanied by a hysterical story or two. If anyone were to ever read a parenting book, I would recommend this one. Signed, fellow womb fruit cultivator.

Good concepts bad delivery

While Gwenna has become the poster child for gentle parenting, she goes wayyyyyy to far on the « you’re the expert on your own child » schtick. Some parents are abusive twats who are not experts of their own child. Trying SO hard to be « alt and or funny » by using terms such as beta human, potato, crotch fruit, crotch goblin, womb fruit etc. It was so cringy I had to turn it off in several spots, just say kids like why do you feel the need to call them crotch goblins ? It’s disgusting.

The book is OK and intro into responsive parenting for people but it should not stop at this book. Some very basic topics that most child specialists know like replacing « no » with the word « stop » because of all the connotations that no could mean are lacking in this book. In another section she complains her son was repeatedly asking for snacks even though he had access to snacks but had realized that snacks usually meant transition. She did not use a visual schedule or timers to support this just summed up the chapter by saying yes sometimes they’ll ask you a million times.

This book is basic basic basic. I can think of many other books that offer more details and explanations that would make a better purchase. The constant drum of « you’re a good parent » is ignoring the fact that the only people who decide if you are a good parent are your children. She’s way over simplified what it means to be a good parent. Just because you read her book or follow her do not be fooled.
