respectful parenting

Well!
Just had a quick read of a respectful parenting website..basically it's treating your children like adults,letting them choose what to wear ,what time to go to bed,how to have their hair, if they want to eat dinner or not. They make the choices of how to live their little lives.ok in some things I suppose but what about when they start nursery or school the poor things will be so confused when they are being told what to do .what about when you take them to a wedding for example of a restaurant or shopping centre.??? Nothing about holding hands though and cuddles.
Did anyone see the little brats on tv with Ruth and eamon holmes where the parents had no control and the kids were wild. Reported heavily in the papers and magazines..in my opinion if it's not done right it will be chaotic if it can be done right at all. rod and own back are the words that spring to mind
Not sure I would go along with it

I am going to have to Google this but it sounds American to me .wacky!!
Can't imagine there being much living and cuddling going on . Asking for trouble later in life in my opinion.

So are you being a respectful parent by sticking to their rules or are they being respectful parents to your GC ?
Where is love in all this.

Oh dear, another loopy fad.
Of course nobody wants "disrespectful" parenting but this does sound like another snowflake recipe for "little emperor" disasters.
Hard to keep the lip buttoned but I suppose you will have to.
My sympathies.

Have never heard of 'respectful parenting' is it something from the U.S.?
