A mother has said she doesn't force her toddler to share and lets her choose her own bedtime. Zoe Ayre is on a mission to get rid of old-fashioned parenting techniques - in favour of newer approaches.
The 36-year-old uses "respectful" parenting techniques and says her daughter is "rarely overtired, and is well behaved." Zoe and her husband Andrew had Hattie in September 2021 - after her birth Zoe was 'surprised' by the challenges of early parenthood.
The mum says she turned to the internet for advice but found lots of 'misleading' techniques that didn't align with the kind of parent she wanted to be. She describes it as being "very damaging to maternal mental health."
