Ep. 115 Are You Overparenting?

Send us a text

When was the last time you let your kid fall out of a tree? Wait, maybe just climb a tree? Or when was the last time you let your kid drive alone across the country? Never you say? Sounds like someone might be overparenting. 

You might know it as helicopter parenting when parents are constantly hovering over their kids to make sure they never get hurt. It's been increasing in parenting over the past few decades. In fact, it's gotten so rampant, we don't even hover from a distance. Now, parents are removing obstacles from their kid's path in what's now called lawnmower parenting. And I mean like, golf greens lawnmowing. But you wouldn't do that, would you?  You believe in letting your kid learn for themselves.

Turns out, we might all be doing it more than we thought. But, old reliable Matt, Mike, and Rob break it down for you and help you become a helium-balloon parent that floats off into the ether.
