FMP 252: 5 Signs You’re a Lawnmower Parent


Listen Later

Are you clearing every obstacle from your child's path... and accidentally stunting their growth?

In episode 252 of the Family Meeting Podcast, Thomas and Lysandra break down the 5 signs that you might be a lawnmower parent, someone who steps in to solve every problem before a child even faces it. While well-intentioned, this style of parenting often robs kids of the opportunity to build resilience, confidence, and independence.

You'll learn:

  • What lawnmower parenting looks like (even in small ways).
  • 5 red-flag behaviors that may be holding your child back.
  • Biblical wisdom on training, not rescuing, your children.
  • Practical shifts you can make to develop trust, responsibility, and courage in your home.
  • How to raise kids who are capable, not coddled.

If you want to raise strong, faith-filled, problem solving kids, this episode is your roadmap to get there.
