Being A Parent Is Hard!

Mom Myths and Stereotypes


Listen Later

Welcome to Being a Parent is Hard! In this week's episode, Mom Myths and Stereotypes we talk about the common struggles and concerns that result in today's moms being referred to as "helicopter" or "snowplow" moms. We focus on the pros and cons of these types of parenting styles for our kids and offer practical suggestions. We also touch on the potential pitfalls of being a "stay at home mom" and being a "working mom"--all of which have to do with having a deeper understanding of ourselves, including our anxieties. Let's put away the judgements and take a close look at how we help (or hinder) our kids as they negotiate expectations, challenges and struggles in their own lives. Please join us!
