Dad Life 49-2 โ€“ The Many Types of Parenting: Which One Are You?


Listen Later

This weekโ€™s Dad Life episode takes a deep dive into the different types of parenting โ€” from lawnmowers to helicopters, gentle to free-range โ€” and everything in between. ๐Ÿš๐ŸŒฑ

We break down the key styles:

๐ŸŒฟ Lawnmower Parents โ€“ clearing every obstacle before the kids even trip.
๐Ÿš Helicopter Parents โ€“ hovering close and ready to swoop at the first sign of trouble.
๐Ÿ“š Intensive Parents โ€“ fully booked calendars and enrichment overload.
๐Ÿ’ž Gentle Parents โ€“ leading with empathy and calm guidance.
๐Ÿ•๏ธ Free-Range Parents โ€“ letting kids explore and learn through independence.
๐Ÿงท Velcro Parents โ€“ always close by, helping every step of the way.

We share which types we identify with most, how our parenting has evolved as our kids have grown, and how being a first-time parent vs. a seasoned one changes everything.

Itโ€™s a funny, honest, and insightful look at how dads (and parents in general) adapt as their families do.
