Together, they have a son. 3-year-old Daxton King will turn four years old this October.<\/p>\n
Being three, he is just old enough to get up to mischief, and not yet old enough to fully control his impulses. Or even to realize (without guidance) the difference between fun<\/em> and harm<\/em>.<\/p>\nAmy Duggar appears in the recent Amazon documentary series Shiny Happy People.

\u201cGentle parenting is why there\u2019s whine in the fridge!\u201d she quipped in her Instagram caption.<\/p>\n
Next to her message, she had a video of her retrieving a pair of scissors from 3-year-old Daxton.<\/p>\nAmy Duggar with her husband and son in 2022. (Photo Credit: Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cHe now has paper to cut at the table supervised,\u201d Amy told her fans and followers.<\/p>\n
\u201cI could tell he wanted to use the scissors,\u201d she explained. Her son \u201cthen ran off.\u201d<\/p>\n
Scissors are an intriguing tool for a child. They\u2019re able to permanently alter their environment. But \u201cpermanence\u201d is a shaky concept to preschool-aged kids.<\/p>\nIn this Instagram caption from June 30, 2023, Amy Duggar wrote about gentle parenting after confiscating scissors from her 3-year-old son. (Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cHand them to mommy and obey,\u201d Amy instructed Daxton during the video.<\/p>\n
She successfully retrieved the scissors.<\/p>\n
Apparently, she revealed, her son had clearly wanted to give the cat a haircut. While he would likely not have been able to, it\u2019s truly <\/em>best to not give kids a chance to even try.<\/p>\nAmy Rachelle King rings in 2023 with a festive selfie. (Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAmy emphasized the importance of gentle parenting, which is just \u2026 parenting where you\u2019re not abusing or otherwise harming your child.<\/p>\n
She noted very accurately that yelling at children does not do anything but \u201charm them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut,\u201d Amy noted, \u201cby talking effectively and communicating with him, he understood.\u201d<\/p>\nAmy Duggar is not a fan of her cousin Josh. And now, she\u2019s opening up about the ways in which he\u2019s affected her life. (Photo Credit: Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAmy emphasized that \u201cWe can use the scissors of course!\u201d<\/p>\n
She added humorously: \u201cJust not on the cat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Very true! At age three, most kids are old enough to use scissors under a parent\u2019s supervision.<\/p>\nDillon King has always been supportive of Amy Duggar. Now, he\u2019s joining her in speaking out against Jim Bob. (Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIt\u2019s deeply sad that people still have to explain how to parent without harming your child. <\/p>\n
But is Amy doing it right? Better than her abusive relatives<\/em> is not the same thing as right<\/em>, after all.<\/p>\nCommenters had some questions and concerns on that topic.<\/p>\nAmy Duggar lost a lot of weight during 2022. And she shared her progress with fans on Instagram. (Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cI don\u2019t like this new parenting of telling your child to \u2018obey\u2019\u201d expressed one commenter. \u201c\u2026 Can we use another word that\u2019s better?\u201d <\/p>\n
Another began with an affirmation, writing: \u201cI love your parenting but not the \u2018obey\u2019 part.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Amy wrote to her followers: \u201cKids need grace to mess up and learn!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\nAmy Duggar seems happier than ever on Instagram. (Photo Credit: Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cBesides I don\u2019t want him [to] learn \u2018instant obedience\u2019 like the IBLP does,\u201d Amy strongly emphasized.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want him to ask questions and learn,\u201d she stressed, \u201cknowing mom and dad are trying to protect him only.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
That is a normal and healthy way to raise a child. If only it were more common.<\/p>\nIn an Instagram video that she posted on June 30, 2023, Amy Duggar retrieved scissors from her 3-year-old son by speaking to him in a non-toxic manner. (Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nOthers took issue with the way that Amy\u2019s caption seemed to normalize \u201cwine mom\u201d culture.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing after a long day, it\u2019s OK to have a glass and relax and recharge for another amazing day with your kids,\u201d Amy replied.<\/p>\n
\u201cI never said I drink in an excessive amount but c\u2019mon, having a glass of Moscato is nothing I\u2019ll be ashamed of,\u201d she quipped. Amy then noted: \u201cJesus drank wine.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
