#65 The Great Parenting Divide: Gentle V Authoritarian

The Farrows Season 2 Episode 65

Talk to Nichole and Ben.

In this episode, Ben and Nichole dive into one of the biggest challenges couples face, when parenting styles don't align. They share their own heated arguments about handling children's behaviour and explore shocking research showing 20.3% of UK children now have probable mental health disorders, up 70% since 2017.

With 74% of millennial parents practicing gentle parenting globally but only 46% believing it works, there's clearly a disconnect. They discuss how the neurodiversity revolution is changing parenting expectations, the pressure of social media perfection, and cultural complexities in UK families. The biggest revelation? Research shows cooperation between parents matters more than identical styles - it's better to work together imperfectly than against each other perfectly.
