As is typical for any parenting issue, there are definitely different schools of thought on how much is enough and how much is too much parenting. In my research on this topic, I came across quite a few different terms describing different parenting methods.
Because these coined terms are such hot topics right now (try Googling “parenting methods”), I’m going to be covering a handful of them. I’ll talk about what they mean, who supports them, why I think they’re good or bad and give you links to do some further reading yourself.
As always, I hope you’ll join in the discussion. As volatile of a subject as parenting is, I expect there to be plenty.
We’ll start tomorrow with Helicopter Parenting.
