I got Gwenna's book for my birthday this month. I absolutely love her content and when I found out she had wrote a book, I was excited to purchase it. I've only made it to chapter •9• "The Big Feels Loop-De-Loo" as of right now, but the book wasn't what I thought it was going to be. This isn't just a "Parent Handguide or Cheat Sheet to raising your kids" it's quite honestly, the opposite. Gentle parenting isn't what it sounds like. She discusses a lot a responsive and intentional parenting ideas and even explains the different about 'mom shame' and 'mom guilt". And believe me, those two things may go hand and hand at times, but they're different in a lot of ways. Gwenna explains the method of 'time-out' in a vert interesting way. As 'time-out' isn't seen as a punishment, but rather a place to sit down and collect your child's thought and really process what they are feeling. It's looked at as a safe place for kids, and her self as well. I'm still getting through the book, but I will definitely update this when I get to read the entire thing and update this about my final thoughts.
