Gentle parenting
I don’t know about you, but this sign makes me sad. I’m all for encouraging your children to push out of their comfort zones and try new things. After all, it’s how we all learn, and they might find something they love.
Forcing a child down a water slide when they are clearly terrified is not the same thing as a gentle push. That the park staff has had to watch enough parents do this to warrant putting up a sign, is disturbing to me.
