Dad Life 49-2 – The Many Types of Parenting: Which One Are You?
This week’s Dad Life episode takes a deep dive into the different types of parenting — from lawnmowers to helicopters, gentle to free-range — and everything in between. 🚁🌱
We break down the key styles:
🌿 Lawnmower Parents – clearing every obstacle before the kids even trip.
🚁 Helicopter Parents – hovering close and ready to swoop at the first sign of trouble.
📚 Intensive Parents – fully booked calendars and enrichment overload.
💞 Gentle Parents – leading with empathy and calm guidance.
🏕️ Free-Range Parents – letting kids explore and learn through independence.
🧷 Velcro Parents – 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.
It’s a funny, honest, and insightful look at how dads (and parents in general) adapt as their families do.
