#parentingstyles

[Inspired by Clown Girl and Ninja Turtle & The Uncharted Adventures of Sandro and his Miniature Nutcase, by Kyn] Here is Purple. He likes Knowledge. He is a bit high strung, but builds all the things. Coffee, insomnia, snark with bite. Parenting style: Intense hugs at crucial moments and guilt that will actually make you feel safe.

Here is Blue. He likes Blades. He is dork but leader. Tea, slow blinks, driest of snarks. Parenting style: Hard Stare, like a Paddington Bear who could actually kill you.

Here is Orange. He just Loves. He is literal Sunshine, Orange crush, and trying not to think about what the pepperoni is thinking. He has already thought of a million things. Parenting style: Be literal Sunshine.

90s parents vs. Millennial parents; the ultimate plot twist in parenting styles! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Of course, not every household was the same, but let’s be honest, this was the norm back then. Today, parenting comes with more open conversations, and sometimes… a little therapy-speak at the dinner table.

Parenting isn’t one-size-fits-all—but understanding your style helps shape your child’s future. Whether strict, lenient, or balanced, your approach affects emotional development. TMS Mindspace supports parents in building conscious parenting habits. Start the journey today.
