EP 8: Mom Mode: Helicopter, Hands-Off, or Total Chaos?

Are you a helicopter mom, a hands-off parent, or somewhere in between? In this episode, we dive into the parenting spectrum—where overprotection meets independence. Sheena is the classic helicopter mom, Nina takes a hands-off approach, and Dipti (our host) is somewhere in the middle, hands-off with school but hands-on with social interactions. We tackle the big questions: Should we micromanage grades? How much freedom is too much? Are we raising resilient kids or just controlling everything? And, of course, the ultimate desi dilemma—letting go vs. keeping a watchful eye. Tune in for laughs, real talk, and maybe a little parenting guilt—we promise, you’re not alone in this struggle!
