Overprotective, over-involved, or over-focused on your kid? Or perhaps too laise faire, too permissive or non-involved? Which category do you think your parenting style falls into? Or, perhaps you are in-between these extremes? In this episode, I loosely define the differences between a helicopter mom vs a hippie (also known as "free-range") mom/parent. I then discuss examples of how my own parenting actions, decisions and behaviors I have so far have fallen along the spectrum of these two types of approaches.
