About this episode

We've heard all the parenting terms...helicopter, hands-off, gentle, authoritative, the list goes on and on. 

But with so many styles of parenting nowadays, how do you choose which one is the right one? 

In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at the parenting styles of the past to see which generation nailed it and who's still struggling with the fall out of their own parental guidance.
