1. The Astronaut Parent: These parents are literally never around, like they’re out in space.
2. The Curling Parent: Probably the most common, these types of parents give a gentle push, and then sweep the way for their children to succeed.
3. The Helicopter Parent: The most well-known, this parent is always hovering, arguing with teachers and coaches on behalf of their child.
4. The Lawnmower Parent: The most extreme of the bunch, they don’t even leave room for hovering. Instead, they’re on their child, pushing, pushing, pushing…
Leave room for one more - the self righteous parent, the one who makes up these labels for everybody else while their way is the only true 'right way'. I am probably in the triple digits now for saying this one, live and let live. I truly and honestly respect everyone's right to their own value system. Don't agree with some but that's a them issue not a me issue. I stick to what I can control within my own family. As for the author of the original article as I said originally I will take a pass on anything she has to stay and stick with my current core values.
