This week’s Dad Life episode takes a deep dive into the different types of parenting — from lawnmowers to helicopters, gentle to free-range — and everything in between. 🚁🌱 We break down the key styles: 🌿 Lawnmower Parents – clearing every obstacle before the kids even trip. 🚁 Helicopter Parents – hovering close and ready to swoop at the first sign of trouble. 📚 Intensive Parents – fully booked calendars and enrichment overload. 💞 Gentle Parents – leading with empathy and calm guidance. 🏕️ Free-Range Parents – letting kids explore and learn through independence. 🧷 Velcro Parents – always close by, helping every step of the way. We share which types we identify with most, how our parenting has evolved as our kids have grown, and how being a first-time parent vs. a seasoned one changes everything. It’s a funny, honest, and insightful look at how dads (and parents in general) adapt as their families do. #DadCrossing #DadLife #ParentingPodcast #ParentingStyles #ModernParenting #Fatherhood #GentleParenting #FreeRangeParenting #HelicopterParenting #RealDadTalk #ParentingHumor
