This week’s Dad Life episode dives into the world of parenting styles, and in particular, we’re unpacking the growing interest in what’s being called Type C Parenting.

You’ve probably heard of Type A parents—highly structured, achievement-driven, and often a bit intense with routines and expectations. Then there’s Type B—more laid-back, go-with-the-flow, and relaxed in their approach.

But Type C? That’s something different.

Type C Parenting is all about connection over control. It’s a balanced approach that focuses on:

  • Emotional regulation (for parents and kids)
  • Open communication
  • Empathy and respect
  • Intentional boundaries without harsh discipline
  • And guiding rather than pushing our kids through life

We discuss what this parenting style looks like in the real world, how it’s helped us in our own homes, and the ways it encourages long-term emotional resilience for our children.

If you’re looking for a more conscious, calm, and compassionate way to parent, or you’re just curious about different parenting approaches, this one’s for you.
