I happen to believe that “hands on” and “hands off” parents are equally capable of producing slackers. No single parenting style has cornered the market on producing superstars.

My son went through a WoW additction phase. He also set the driveway on fire with a potato. D is currently addicted to re-runs of LOST. Last week she got a ride home from an 18 year old boy we’ve never met.

Son was the senior class “Mr. Allaround” and earned a 90% scholarship to Wake Forest. D is ranked 8th in her class and was a state finalist in her sport.

From the outside looking in, are we hands-on or hands-off?

Hint: Both kids are VERY good-looking.
