FMP 252: 5 Signs You’re a Lawnmower Parent
Update: 2025-07-23
Description
Are you clearing every obstacle from your child's path... and accidentally stunting their growth?
In episode 252 of the Family Meeting Podcast, Thomas and Lysandra break down the 5 signs that you might be a lawnmower parent, someone who steps in to solve every problem before a child even faces it. While well-intentioned, this style of parenting often robs kids of the opportunity to build resilience, confidence, and independence.
You'll learn:
- What lawnmower parenting looks like (even in small ways).
- 5 red-flag behaviors that may be holding your child back.
- Biblical wisdom on training, not rescuing, your children.
- Practical shifts you can make to develop trust, responsibility, and courage in your home.
- How to raise kids who are capable, not coddled.
If you want to raise strong, faith-filled, problem solving kids, this episode is your roadmap to get there.
