Gender Creative Parenting: What It Is, What It's Not

What is gender creative parenting? It's a lot of things according to Dr. Kyl Myers, author of "Raising Them: Our Adventure in Gender Creative Parenting"; it's not a one-size-fits-all approach. Most broadly, it's a parenting philosophy that encourages kids to grow into their gender than be assigned one at birth. Dr. Myers explains what this looks like in every day, why some people chose to adopt this parenting style, how it can help eliminate gendered oppression later in life, and more.

Are You a Helicopter Parent? Julie Lythcott-Haims Breaks It Down

Are we overparenting our children? For example, constantly saying things like "we have a playdate," "we are going to college," and "we have soccer practice." Of course we want the best for our kids but we may be making it too easy to succeed and too hard to fail. In other words, making it nearly impossible for kids to problem solve, build resilience and become independent. Maria Sansone chats with Julie Lythcott-Haims, the New York Times Bestselling Author of the anti-helicopter parenting manifesto "How to Raise an Adult," to challenge all of this. Julie helps to define what helicopter/overparenting is, how we can help set our kids up for success and gives us tools to sharpen our intention.
