How is fafo different from natural consequences? Isn’t this what is commonly preached?

I leverage a bit of FAFO parenting theory 😅 my kids are neurodivergent & have a touch of the PDA profile. I educate them on possible outcomes & let them learn their own way whenever possible

and emotionally, kids receive that kind of FAFO parenting as apathy

Less is more!! 100% agree with the amount of conflicting information and advice. Every parent/child relationship is different. If your parenting style feels good to you and YOU & your kids are healthy and thriving, then keep doing it. If you feel ashamed or guilty or any other draining emotion more times than not, then we have you 😉

I treat my kids as I want to be treated w/natural & logical consequences. I also wonder why they can’t stuff down their emotions more like I did when I was younger?! 😃

The true Boomer way. You’re exhausted fair but that’s not your kids fault the world is very chaotic understandable but you don’t get to check out on a child you chose to have

My millennial kids (especially daughters) do not yet have kids. I have to bite my tongue when they talk about how different their parenting will be from mine (and I was good but not perfect!)

This, but informing of likely outcomes always. If it’s only medium risk, I will tell my son what could possibly happen and let him manage the risk on his own.

Someone literally told me that was their parenting style and let their kid get cavities. Wild.

I’ve been combining “FAFO” parenting w/ “natural consequences” narratives. There’s a sliver of utility in there but for the most part, nothing to really latch on. “Sturdy Leadership” is like a 🛟

I think FAFO parenting isn't what you're describing - it's explaining natural consequences and the pros/cons of a decision, and allowing the child to learn to make decisions wisely within a safe frame

FAFO just sounds like having Gen X and Boomer parents. Protip: it did not pan out well!

Some important context is our brains aren’t finished developing until our 20s and one of the last things to is finish is the frontal lobe aka risk assessment & prioritization. They need help with it!

FAFO is because there is no village.

Amy Damato :
I would agree to an extent, but I think you’re making a lot of generalizations/assumptions about this. Teacher and parent, also have a SPED Masters in autism behavior. FAFO is a pendulum swing reaction to some gentle parenting strategies that are simply not practical in reality because many don’t mimic real world interactions that are “unsafe.” They also largely overemphasize the importance of unique feelings over the implementation of practical strategies.

Gonna go out on a limb and say, if you aren’t ready to help your kid navigate life and emotions, then you’re not ready to parent, period. Regardless of method. Sorry that you had a human, like.

I'm failing to see how this is different than gentle parenting lol it's just "natural consequences" worded differently (admittedly in a funnier way lol)
