Are you a Helicopter or a Drill Sergeant?

The topic today was: Are you a Helicopter (hover and rescue) or a Drill Sergeant(bark orders) Parent?  And did you know that both types of parents raise children with low self-esteem?  

My sister, who is my biggest parenting fan, always likes to hear how my classes went.  I was telling her that today there was this new young mom whose eyes filled up with tears...the first time she tried to act like she got something in her eyes...as the class when on, she just cried and cried...

Bishop T.D. Jakes of The Potter's House - Dallas, Texas

It was really, really shocking! Love overrides everything, I mean everything! It wasn't about being embarrassed or protecting my image, I cared nothing about that. I cared about [protecting] what you see sitting right here. When push comes to shove [parents], choose your kid.

In a letter to her parents, Bishop Jakes revealed, Sarah wrote: "It was worth it all to see how much you love me."
