Over Parenting | Is Fear-Based Parenting Negatively affecting our kids?





Is the way we seem to be over parenting our kids affecting how they are turning out? How could we become a better parent?
Could our own fears start to affect our kids as they grow up?
Is there any fears that YOU have that might have migrated over to your kids lives? Driving, going out, dating …?
Today we look at a blog from Tim Elmore and a few stories from my speaking dates on fear-based parents.

Tim Elmore — 4 parenting strategies for leading generation Z

“From this decade, adults began to believe our world was less safe than ever—and kids needed oversight or direction at all times. So many began over-parenting their children (even teens) becoming “helicopter parents” In case you don’t know about parenting styles I will add a card above with my video on this where I go through 40+ parenting styles. and “karaoke parents” (who wanted to act like their kids) and “lawnmower parents” who mowed down anything or anyone in the way of their kids’ success.”

1. Kids began feeling entitled to special perks because we said, “They’re special.”
2. Kids began to feel unsafe, afraid and even paranoid because of their parent’s behavior.
3. Kids began believing they were fragile and could not handle adversity.
4. Kids began embracing the narrative that the world is full of evil people who could harm them.

    I’m 36 and going on 37 and still trying to get my mom to acknowledge she often has led with fear based parenting throughout my life, as she can be a fearful person herself and then projects that on to me. Tonight she said that she does it out of love, she always gets really defensive about it, and she said that people whose parents don’t worry about them like that to try to protect them don’t love them. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
