This feels like the first life changing question my gut instinct doesn’t help me answer. Is it beneficial to hang around with other people who are not gentle in parenting or teaching style?

Since we are now 100% commited to being homeschooling parents, I have become obsessed with finding all possible educational, interesting and factual books for my children.
