Moms carry a lot on their shoulders from meal planning to sports shuttling, boo-boo kissing to homework prodding. What would happen in the home if mom didn't do all the things? 

In this Mother's Day episode, Arlene brings a message to make moms laugh and hopefully make them feel wildly appreciated. But she'll also share the dangers of being a helicopter mom and doing too much for your kids.

You'll hear personal stories of how she has seen her kids grow up - and what has worked to make them truly ready for life. No matter your parenting style, if you're married or single, this episode will remind you what's most important in your family.  This message was originally recorded at Bonita Valley Community Church in San Diego. 

1:30 What would actually happen if mom didn’t show up? 

5:20 Why your son needs you to step back - kids learn to problem solve in your absence

7:40 Launching adults requires less rescuing 

8:50 The link between helicopter parents and socially anxious kids 

11:30  Stop asking social media for advice - ask the generation ahead of you instead

13:33 What does the Bible say about launching kids into adulthood? 

18:30 What to do if your child says he doesn’t want to go to school

20:00 When Ethan broke his leg in kindergarten - and how it taught Arlene to let go 

23:30 I don’t want to carpool with that kid! 

25:30 What is your highest goal as a parent?
