Why I Never Make My Son Say ‘Thank You’ or ‘Sorry’ Anymore

Parenting is no easy task. We all have our unique styles, and let’s face it, there’s no shortage of opinions – wanted or otherwise. But for Emma, a proud member of the ‘understanding and empathic’ tribe, breaking the mold of traditional parenting has been a life-changing decision.

Introducing Emma, a caring and open-minded mother, who has turned to the internet to discuss her controversial parenting choices and seek advice from the masses. In a heartfelt letter, she shares her story and hopes to hear what other parents think about her son’s situation.

At 38 years old, Emma is the adoring mother of eight-year-old Georgie. Georgie is her pride and joy, and Emma has made it her mission to raise him differently from the norm. She believes in embracing a parenting approach that goes beyond discipline and focuses on understanding and empathy.

Emma’s approach is unconventional, and that’s what makes it stand out. She recognizes the power of platforms like ours, where people can freely express their opinions on different topics. In the past, Emma has actively engaged with others by offering suggestions and sharing her interpretations of their stories. Now, she invites readers to share their thoughts on her son’s unique situation.

Georgie’s upbringing has been shaped by Emma’s unwavering commitment to compassion and understanding. Through this different approach, she hopes to create an environment where Georgie can thrive, feel heard, and grow into the best version of himself.
