We now have evidence that gentle parenting doesn’t work.

Here’s an uncomfortable truth about parenting no one wants to say out loud:

The data is not kind to gentle parenting.

According to teenagers, strict curfews. strict bedtimes, screen limits, device drop off times, dedicated homework blocks, and sleepover restrictions IMPROVE higher relationship quality.

And yes, parenting difficulty goes up.

Of course it does. Leadership is harder than appeasement.

For the past decade we have been sold a watered down, Instagram friendly version of “gentle parenting” that often collapses into boundary avoidance, endless negotiation and emotional processing without enforcement. Parents terrified of saying no because they do not want to rupture connection.

But connection without authority is not connection. It is dependency.

When parents impose structure, the relationship improves.

Teenagers report better parent child relationship quality in homes with curfews and rules. Younger kids report better relationships in homes with screen limits and bedtimes. Even device drop off times correlate positively.

Why?

Because structure is not cruelty. Structure is love made visible.

A bedtime says: your brain matters more than your entertainment.

A screen limit says: your dopamine system is not fully developed and I will guard it until it is.

A curfew says: your safety matters more than your social standing.

That is not authoritarianism. That is caring.

Boundaries create friction. Friction creates growth. The parent absorbs the short term discomfort so the child does not pay the long term cost.

Children do not experience well calibrated limits as rejection. They experience them as stability. The human brain craves predictability. Predictability reduces anxiety. Reduced anxiety strengthens attachment.

That is why relationship quality goes up.

Notice something else in the data. The strongest effects are around time structure. Bedtime. Homework. Devices. Outside play. These are environmental constraints. They scaffold executive function.

The winning formula is not tyranny.

It is high warmth plus high structure.

The modern failure mode is high warmth plus low structure. That is just abdication of responsibility wrapped in empathy.

Children need leadership, not negotiation. They need adults who can tolerate their anger. They need boundaries that do not move every time emotions spike. They need someone whose prefrontal cortex is fully myelinated.

The harder path produces the stronger bond.

Because when a child feels that someone is strong enough to hold the line, they relax. And relaxed nervous systems build durable relationships.

Hey @billieeilish here’s a young lady

Dear HS OL recruits,

Pick your school based on the OL coach and their pedigree of developing talented linemen.

Way too many used car salesmen out there and not enough teachers.

Recruiting with gimmicks is easy, pursue those that will invest in your skill development.

Take 3 minutes on this Sunday to watch Charlie educate Tucker. Watch Tucker’s facial expressions. He was in awe of Charlie and took it all in🙏🏼🙏🏼

A man at an AMC theater in Arizona’s Valley of the Sun unzipped in the middle of a movie and pissed on a child sitting nearby.

The crowd dragged him out of his seat and beat him until he couldn’t stand.

And that is how you fix this culture. Immediate consequences.

[ThePersistence @ScottPresler]

The sheer amount of teachers celebrating Charlie Kirk’s assassination should make every parent in America consider homeschooling their children.

This young man wrote a song for Charlie Kirk and it’s beautiful ❤️🙏👏

Someone should should fly this kid to the ceremony.

VERY IMPORTANT: Everybody stop what you’re doing and watch this.

Jesse Watters just delivered his most important and powerful monologue ever.

He blew the lid off the trans violence epidemic, the media’s cover-up, and how Democratic leaders created it:

"The media is bad at pattern recognition. Just two years ago another trans 20-something walked into a Christian school in Nashville with a rifle and shot 3 kids and 3 adults. They buried the manifesto and locked down the case."

“We've seen trans shootings in Colorado and in Maryland. They even shot up an ice facility in Texas. And it seems like half of Antifa is trans. A couple of they/thems just got popped for firebombing Teslas.”

“Statistically, the trans population has been prone to violence. That's not villainizing, that's reality.”

“The left is weaponizing trans kids and turning them into culture warriors. And they've been turned loose against the church, schools, and Trump. The trans clan has a militant wing, and it's out for blood. They're taking lives, defiling churches, and freaking everybody out.”

“Tim Walz failed. Our leaders keep failing us. They failed us. Now there's a growing trans epidemic and they won't admit it. They created a crisis and then lie about it and blame you for not being compassionate. But their fake compassion is getting people killed.”

Sauna benefits are dose-dependent

The more frequent the sauna use, the more robust the effect

For example, people who sauna 4–7 times a week have a 40% lower all-cause mortality compared to those who only sauna once weekly

But if you drop down to 2–3 sessions per week, the benefit shrinks to 24%

For the strongest cardiovascular and cognitive benefits, research recommends at least four 20-minute sessions weekly at 174°F

“I want to thank my Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ for blessing me… At the beginning of the week, our doctor [and I] went to Life Church… I was listening to the sermon and it was talking about David & Goliath. David had a vision of victory…and I kinda carried that with me all week.”

On Croatian Television channel 4. Vladimir Putin was allowed to speak.

He addressed the Europeans: "Russia has never been and will never be your enemy!

We do not want European raw materials and wealth, we have our own raw materials and wealth, we absolutely do not need your raw materials. Russia is the richest country in the world in terms of raw materials.

We do not want your land or your territory. Look at how wide Russia is on the map. Russia is twice the size of the whole of Europe in one place. What would we need your land for, what do we do with it?

Why do you think Russia is an enemy of Europe? What damage has Russia done to you?

Have we sold you gas and raw materials at lower prices than the prices at which your "friends" are currently selling you? YES

Did Russia sacrifice 20 million people in World War II to get rid of the Nazis? YES

Was Russia the first country to help Europe during the Covid pandemic? YES

Did we help Europe when there were fires and natural disasters? YES

What has Russia done to you that you hate it so much?

Russia is not your enemy; your real enemies are your leaders, those who lead you!”

🚨 To Elon Musk and the DOGE team looking at Medicare:

Pharmacist says

- Cancer Medicine Imatinib costs them $7 to buy. They add $10, so you're out the door for $17
- When Medicare pays for this drug, IT COSTS THEM $2,400
- This drug was filled 250,000 times in 1 year costing Medicare $600 million

“If every one of those scripts was filled at our pharmacy instead of through Medicare, it would've cost $4 million. That means that we are $596 million cheaper than the insurance. That's crazy.”

“So why are they paying this much for that medication? Well, insurance companies pay a middleman, the pharmacy benefits manager, and that person decides how much that medication's gonna cost”

- 3 Pharmacy Benefits Managers control over 90% of all prescription pricing in America
- Pharmaceutical companies bought all 3 Pharmacy Benefits Managers

They set their own pricing, Medicare pays ASTRONOMICAL prices and taxpayers pick up the bill. This is a racket.
