Because We Said So

How do you raise your kids? Are you a helicopter parent who tracks your child's every move, or are you more hands off? A recent video from "TODAY with Hoda & Jenna" got the moms thinking about what kind of parents they are. Specifically this week the moms discuss the values of benign neglect, an approach to parenting where you let your kids learn and grow through noninterference. It's a good idea, but these moms also love to be just a tiny bit hands on. Just don't call these moms helicopter parents! Or are they? It's a topic that has these moms vigorously debating on this penultimate episode of Because Mom said So.

Benign Neglect

On this week's episode the moms welcome special guest Cassie Bartho, an Australian choreographer who currently serves as the Creative and Training Assistant at Brent Street, Sydney's most prestigious school for dance. Recently Cassie's work has been the subject of the Amazon Prime series Dance Life, which follows a year in the life of some of Cassie's students. The moms are simply obsessed with her and are eager to find out how her experience filming a dance-centric reality show differs from their own. Tune-in to find out more!

Dance Life (feat. Cassie Bartho)

We're coming close to the end of Because Mom Said So, and if there's one thing these moms have heard a lot over the course of this podcast it's rumors about "what really happened on Dance Moms." By now some of these tall tales have gotten so outlandish that they're sick of it! So join us this week as the moms put the record straight on what really "really happened" on Dance Moms. Were the competitions rigged? Hear it straight from the source, but hopefully the answer won't surprise you!

Rumor Has It

Have you ever managed to follow through on a New Year's Resolution? It seems like every year we set ourselves up to fail. For these moms a resolution is just be another thing they "might" get to next year. But this year across social media there was a shift. Instead of making resolutions, people started asking themselves what they were leaving behind in 2023 and welcoming in 2024. So join us this week as the moms discuss what's out and what's in for 2024. "Drink More Water" of course is still 100% In!
