In our first parenting podcast of the year, we return to explore decision making.  Many parents are susceptible to approaching their parenting as maximizers versus Satisficers.  Maximizers will go to 10 stores in order to find the perfect pair of jeans.  Satisficers will be content with the jeans at the first store because they are "good enough."  So often, we as parents put our "maximizer mentality" on our kids.  This mentality is a new kind of "snowplow parenting" (the cousin of the helicopter parent), but they inevitably plow before the snow comes.  

Nothing is good enough.  

Hard to please.

Unwilling to sit with coaches, teachers, or pastors to work through problems.  Instead, moving on becomes the norm for parents seeking the Perfect "fill in the blank."
