Parenting Today: Brickwall, Jellyfish, & Backbone - Jennifer Casa-Todd @JCasaTodd | iPads, MakerEd and More  in Education | Scoop.it
Several years ago, I was a part of a community network of parents who brought Barbara Coloroso to our school community to talk about parenting from her book, “Kids are Worth It”.

I will NEVER forget her talk as it really resonated with me as a daughter, a mother, and an educator. Now, as I prepare my own talk for a school community in a few weeks (kind of crazy how it has come full circle for me), I am thinking about Coloroso’s parenting message as it applies to cell phone conversations.

She talks about three kinds of parenting styles: the brickwall parent, the jellyfish parent and the backbone parent.
