Step Aside, “Helicopter Parenting.” There’s a New Buzzword in Town.

On this episode of Care and Feeding: Hosts Lucy Lopez, Elizabeth Newcamp, and Zak Rosen are digging into parenting styles. The new book on the block is Lighthouse Parenting: Raising Your Child With Loving Guidance for a LIfelong Bond, out in March. And it got us thinking: are all these different parenting styles - Tiger Mom, Gentle Parenting, Free Range, etc - kinda trash? The hosts dig into their styles, how to make different styles work for you, and more.

Podcast production by Cheyna Roth. Video production by Micah Phillips.
