Helicopter parenting has a bad wrap. It’s beneficial if you do it right.
In this episode I want to share how important it is to know your kids, who they are deep down. Here’s how I do this:
- I use my flaws to draw them in
- I see them as my friends
- I find balance between being a rule maker and their confidant
- I use Biblical teachings to reach their hearts
- I treat all ages as equally important when creating closeness
I also share some pointers on how you can use helicopter parenting to draw your kids close by:
- starting small and being consistent
- Doing chores together
- Doing things they like
- Sharing your struggles
- Asking questions
- Being authentic (ie. admitting your flaws)
- Knowing when to pull back
