    Benign Neglect

    Benign Neglect

    How do you raise your kids? Are you a helicopter parent who tracks your child's every move, or are you more hands off? A recent video from "TODAY with Hoda & Jenna" got the moms thinking about what kind of parents they are. Specifically this week the moms discuss the values of benign neglect, an approach to parenting where you let your kids learn and grow through noninterference. It's a good idea, but these moms also love to be just a tiny bit hands on. Just don't call these moms helicopter parents! Or are they? It's a topic that has these moms vigorously debating on this penultimate episode of Because Mom said So.

    What's Out and What's In

    Have you ever managed to follow through on a New Year's Resolution? It seems like every year we set ourselves up to fail. For these moms a resolution is just be another thing they "might" get to next year. But this year across social media there was a shift. Instead of making resolutions, people started asking themselves what they were leaving behind in 2023 and welcoming in 2024. So join us this week as the moms discuss what's out and what's in for 2024. "Drink More Water" of course is still 100% In!
