Wanting to advocate for gentle parenting but easily triggered

Hey,

I wonder if you all can relate. As someone who struggled with verbally/emotionally abusive parents, I strongly believe in gentle parenting (also sometimes called conscious discipline I think), basically no yelling or hitting and instead showing empathy and atunement that is appropriate for a child's development and using positive reinforcement tools to help children cope with their development needs and emotional regulation. I follow Mr Chazz who is basically my hero because he talks about how research backs up the approach. I really want to advocate for children being treated with kindness but I find I tend to freeze in the moment when a friend says something I disagree with because it is so personal and triggering for me. I am doing my best to remember if I did try to say something small to speak up or that I can also spread awareness by sharing on social media or something.
