Type C parenting, coined by Ashleigh Surratt, resonates with parents who blend discipline and flexibility in raising children. This style emphasizes organization while acknowledging the chaos of family life, as illustrated by Surrattâs examples of labeled bins and laundry piles. With tips from marriage and family therapist Cheryl Groskopf, Type C parenting values connection over perfection, allowing parents to prioritize important relationships while accepting that not everything needs to be controlled. This refreshing approach reflects the realities of modern parenting.
"You're not a mess. You're not failing. You're actually in really, really great company." Surratt reassures fellow moms in her TikTok explainer, embodying the essence of Type C parenting.
"I think a strength of ours is we've learned to hold what's important and kind of let go of the things that don't matter." This insight highlights the balance that Type C parents strive for.
"You're choosing to loosen up in certain areas - maybe the house isn't spotless... because you've realized that connection matters more than control." Groskopf sums up the Type C parenting philosophy.
"If you're still connecting and responding with care, even when it's messy, that's Type C." Groskopf emphasizes that the focus is on meaningful connections despite chaos.
