Benign Neglect

Because Mom Said So

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.
