Prince William and Kate champion ‘controlled parenting’ as they shield children from ‘pressure’
Prince William and Kate Middleton are known for their thoughtful and modern approach to parenting, often referred to as “controlled parenting.” They emphasize a balance of structure and sensitivity, aiming to shield their children from the pressures of royal life while providing them with a nurturing environment.
One notable technique they use is the “chat sofa” instead of a traditional “naughty step” for discipline. This involves calmly discussing the child’s behavior and its consequences, which helps create a more understanding and peaceful atmosphere.
Kate and William also strive to give their children as normal an upbringing as possible, despite their royal status. They engage in regular activities like school runs and outdoor play, and they encourage their children to pursue their interests. The couple’s dedication to their children’s well-being is evident in their consistent efforts to balance public duties with family life, ensuring that George, Charlotte, and Louis grow up grounded and well-adjusted.
