In this episode, Zach explores the idea of whether less parenting might actually be better parenting. Inspired by a recent article and a statement from the Surgeon General, Zach discusses how helicopter parenting—constantly hovering over and solving problems for children—can create anxiety for both parents and children. He contrasts this with the concept of "Lighthouse Parenting," which encourages setting boundaries and offering guidance while allowing children to navigate challenges independently. From a Christian perspective, Zach highlights that the ultimate goal of parenting is to raise children who will follow Jesus and grow into independent adults. He urges parents to empower their children by helping them take responsibility and seek God’s guidance, rather than trying to control every aspect of their lives.
