Positive education has become a controversial topic, with parents interpreting it in an extreme way, believing they cannot say no to their children or impose limits on them. The provocative title of the article aims to question this trend.
Parenting coach Magda Gomes Dias is the central figure of the article. She reissued and updated a work she had published 11 years ago about parenting.
According to the author, the world has changed significantly since the first edition of the book, and parenting has followed these transformations. Educational approaches and family dynamics have evolved, requiring a revision of previous advice and guidance.
The article emerges as a warning against the excesses of positive education, advocating for a balance between understanding children and the need to establish boundaries and rules appropriate to child development.
