Today is National Lazy Mom's Day. 11 Ways to Stop Overparenting and Be a "Slacker Mom"
Perfectionism and parenting can be a recipe for exhaustion and a life filled with stress. Being a "slacker mom" is not a negative; it's a way of thinking smart and of being clued into what really matters over what can wait till another day. Slacker mom was a term coined by Muffi Mead-Ferro,[1] and it's also known as being a Beta mom, or slow parenting.[2][3] Slacker moms are moms who reject any over-parenting models that involve children being sent to every possible after-school improvement option, with mom staying up till dawn baking homemade cookies before rushing off to work or starting the day's tasks. If you're ready to be a slacker mom, then it's no more sitting for hours on end in traffic and in your car at the soccer practice field; and it's no more helicopter parenting where overbearing goodwill takes away your child's self-sufficiency and capacity to learn by trial and error. Take the over-the-top expectations out of being a mom, and start really enjoying your slow parenting experience.

The method will change based on who you are teaching (young or old, athletic or otherwise) and how many people you are teaching (one on one, a small group or a whole class), but the basics will stay the same.
