Forget the 'Tiger Mom' be an opossum or a sloth. That's the message from Head of Health and Social Care at South Mimms U, Ginger Rice.  She's just written a book which debunks the active, helicopter parent myths that are making our kids and, more importantly, most parents stressed and careworn. We're all rushing around trying to do everything we can to make our kids happy and successful, and none of it matters. The kids will be alright on their own. In fact, they'll be happier and more successful for a little bit of neglect. Not too much, but just enough. The Tiger Mom trope is one which underpins the neoliberal obsession with numbers and money. It's not parenting - it’s management. Transform your family life by lying on the sofa and letting you kids explore the world for themselves. Within reason of course. Ginger's recipe is set to take parenting theory by storm.
