Tiger Mum, helicoptering, attachment parenting…

Tiger Mum, helicoptering, attachment parenting… everyone knows about these parenting styles! But have you heard about this Sassy Mama’s drone parenting style? 🚁

“My first phase of parenting was terrestrial and inelegant (but which newly minted mother cared about appearances?). I was a bulldozer, ploughing down any real or imagined obstacle that stood in my children’s way. Noisy neighbour disturbing my child’s nap? She’ll have me on her doorstep in no time. School admissions officer rejected my son? I want a second assessment. The must-have sleep swaddle made from 200% organic cotton and sewn together with bamboo silk is out of stock? I’ll call the company’s headquarters.

I will withhold judgement on whether this parenting style was right or wrong. I will say though that it is an understandable mode for when the children are young and seemingly vulnerable. As they get older, want more independence, and need to learn agency, I suggest creating some distance. Or, as I did, go overhead.” 🚜
