The Happy Human Life - A podcast by Jenilee and Greg

“I’ve heard about helicopter versus free range parenting and I’m having a hard time finding a balance. How much freedom should we give our kids?” In this episode, we dig into the world of parenting styles as we discuss helicopter vs. free-range parenting. If you're struggling to find the right balance of freedom and guidance for your children, this one's for you! We start off with a quick overview of what helicopter parenting and free-range parenting involve, and then discuss how much freedom is too much. We dive into the challenges of balancing control with independence, and how to tailor your approach to best suit your kid's age and maturity. You’ll gain practical tips on how to be supportive of your kid’s interests and self-expression without overstepping, learning how to model flexibility, acceptance, and support.
