Do you have a parenting style?

by

I hear alot about helicopter parents and then I witness the direct opposite with my trips to the ball field.  And, to be honest, I see quite a bit of helicopter parenting as well.  I think if I had been a parent when I was younger, I would have been a helicopter parent for sure.  But, now, I’m so much more laid back, I’m like, whatever, as long as the kid’s not hurting, not hurting anyone, then it’s probably some kind of learning experience right?

There’s a cute online quiz that labeled me as a casual parent.  Of course, that’s kind of what I would have said and in reality, I think it’s very true.  You should try the thing just for fun, you never know what you might find out about yourself.
