Kourtney Kardashian slammed as ‘insane' for controversial parenting move & even sister Khloe thinks it's ‘crazy'
KOURTNEY Kardashian has been slammed by fans as 'insane' and 'dysfunctional' after sharing her controversial parenting style. The 46-year-old reality TV star even left her sister and mum-of-two Khloe, 40, stunned by her 'crazy' claims. 4 4 4 4 On a recent episode of Khloe Kardashian's new podcast, Khloe in Wonder Land, the mum-of-four got candid on her ' attachment style parenting '. Attachment parenting is a child-rearing philosophy centred around building a strong emotional bond between a parent and child. It emphasises empathy, responsiveness and close physical and emotional connection, especially during infancy and early childhood. There is also a strong importance placed on breastfeeding, baby-wearing, avoiding 'baby training' and responding with sensitivity. The Kardashians star who tied the knot with Travis Barker back in 2022 and gave birth to their son, Rocky Thirteen Barker, on November 1, 2023, at a hospital in Los Angeles, admitted that contact naps are of high importance to her and baby Rocky. 19 months after Rocky's birth, not only does Kourtney still sleep in the same room as him, but she even holds him for all of his naps too. Revealing all on her 'attachment style parenting', Kourtney shared: 'One thing I did differently this time, I've always shared a bed with the other kids, but we share a room with Rocky.' When it comes to defining attachment style parenting, Kourtney added: 'I think it's not separating for as much as possible in the first three years. 'It really helps nurture their secure attachment. It's just what my instincts tell me and what they tell me to do.' Unlike Khloe, who is mother to True, six, and Tatum, two, Kourtney 'doesn't really have a schedule' with her 19-month-old baby. Kourtney Kardashian scolded over parenting style with baby Rocky as fans rage 'be thankful for your privilege' Kourtney told her sister: 'You are very scheduled and planned out - activities, outfits, bedtimes, food. 'We have a general time but as babies, we have no schedule. Rocky doesn't really have a schedule. 'Today we got up at 7am, made breakfast for the kids and they got out the door and I noticed he was so tired at around 8:30am, and so we nursed in bed and he went to sleep. We go with the flow.' It really helps nurture their secure attachment. It's just what my instincts tell me Kourtney Kardashian Not only this, but Kourtney also admitted: 'With the attachment style parenting, I hold him for his naps. The whole time.' To this, Khloe gasped: 'Wow, that's crazy to me.' Kourtney then confirmed: 'He's 23lbs…Once he took a nap for five hours. There are four recognised styles of parenting explained below: Authoritarian Parenting What some might describe as "regimental" or "strict" parenting. Parents with this style focus on strict rules, obedience, and discipline. Authoritarian parents take over the decision-making power, rarely giving children any input in the matter. When it comes to rules, you believe it's "my way or the highway". Permissive Parenting Often referred to as "soft parenting" or "yes mums/dads". Permissive parents are lenient, only stepping in when there's a serious problem. They're quite forgiving and they adopt an attitude of "kids will be kids". Oftentimes they act more like friends than authoritative figures. Authoritative Parenting Authoritative parents provide their children with rules and boundaries, but they also give them the freedom to make decisions. With an authoritative parenting style, parents validate their children's feelings while also making it clear that the adults are ultimately in charge. They use positive reinforcement techniques, like praise and reward systems, as opposed to harsh punishments. Neglectful or Uninvolved Parenting Essentially, neglectful parents ignore their children, who receive little guidance, nurturing, and parental attention. They don't set rules or expectations, and they tend to have minimal knowledge about what their children are doing. Uninvolved parents expect children to raise themselves. They don't devote much time or energy to meeting children's basic needs. Uninvolved parents may be neglectful but it's not always intentional. A parent with mental health issues or substance abuse problems, for example, may not be able to care for a child's physical or emotional needs consistently. 'I'll sit in our little chair and I still have my little breastfeeding pillow so he'll lay on there and my arm is under. 'Then I have a little radiation blanket that I put over to protect from EMFs from phone use. 'I'll do extended breastfeeding, co-sleeping.' Fans react But social media users were left stunned by Kourtney's 'crazy' style of parenting and many eagerly raced to share their thoughts. One person said: "The luxury of being rich. Can afford to sit there for three to five hours. Maids, nannies, etc to help with the house and other kids.' Another added: 'I love it how Kourtney talks as if she's a wonderful mother as if we don't all know how dysfunctional her three other children are.' A third commented: 'That is crazy!!' Whilst someone else slammed: 'I'm sorry but that's ridiculous.' Despite this, other parents confessed that they too have a similar parenting style to Kourtney. One mother explained: 'I've held my son for every nap for the past two years and I have no nanny, no maids, no money. It's definitely possible, especially if you only have one baby!' A second chimed in: 'With my first baby I would contact nap and I'd sit in the living room holding him while he slept.' Meanwhile, another parent admitted: 'I nap with my 21-month-old for two hours a day. It's amazing. I love it.'

Like if someone does the same thing every day. I do it with everything. It's not about our family. Let's say the school system. I'll think, why do kids f*****g go to school? Truly. It's so dated,' Kourtney said in the podcast. 'I'm such a home school person so don't even get me going,' Khloe added. Kourtney explained: 'So then I'll start thinking... and then like my kids will start sending me videos why do kids to school. It will be like really successful people and they'll be like my kids never go to school and they're never going to. And I'm like, what's the goal here. You want to do homeschool? Ok let's do it.

Kourtney Kardashian believes sending children to school is 'so dated'
Kourtney Kardashian has argued the conventional school system is "so dated". During the latest episode of the Khloé in Wonder Land podcast on Wednesday, host Khloé Kardashian asked her older sister about their differing parenting styles. In response, Kourtney explained that she has no desire to "conform" to what other people do. "Once I started therapy, I kind of started challenging the ways we did things sometimes, the way we all functioned. I love to just go against the grain. I do it with everything," she said. "Like the school system, I'll think, 'Why do kids f**king go to school?' Truly, it's so dated. So, then I'll start thinking, 'O.K. what's the goal here? Want to do homeschool? Let's do it.'" Kourtney shares Mason, 15, Penelope, 12, and Reign, 10, with former partner Scott Disick, and 18-month-old son Rocky with husband Travis Barker. And the reality TV star recalled how she preferred to breastfeed rather than give medication to her children when they were babies. "I think living authentically is not conforming, to whatever it is... I will like nurse the fever of my kids versus giving Tylenol (paracetamol) or ibuprofen. I just want to do that," the 46-year-old continued. Elsewhere in the conversation, Kourtney revealed that she sometimes holds Rocky for the duration of his naps. "With the attachment style parenting, I hold him for his naps," she explained, noting she once cradled the infant for five hours. "I'll sit in my little chair, usually in the room, and then I still have my little breastfeeding pillow, and he'll kind of lay on there with my arms under, and then I have a little radiation blanket that I put over to protect from EMFs (electromagnetic fields)."
