Are You Guilty Of Competitive Parenting?

April 26, 2019 by Guest Writer

In the wake of the Varsity Blues Scandal everyone is asking the question - how did modern day parenting get here? Obsessive-compulsive behavior in parenting is nothing new. However the terms used to describe it have evolved. First there was the “Tiger Mom”, which morphed into “Helicopter Parenting” and now this has turned into “Intensive Parenting” - the latest and greatest of … [Read more...] about Are You Guilty Of Competitive Parenting?

February 17, 2011 by sarah dyer Leave a Comment

Be competitive with your kids. This is my secret to parenting. That sounds terrible doesn’t it? Trust me, it's not as bad as it sounds. I am a silently competitive person. I like to win, but I don’t like other people to know that I’m trying to win. I like people to believe that it’s a happy accident if I win at something. This way, I come off as a very laid back (which I am) … [Read more...] about Make Parenting Competitive
