Being a ‘yes mom’ is a Permissive Style of parenting, says Laura Markovitz, a certified parent coach. This is when parents respond to what they perceive their children’s needs to be, without placing any demands or limits on them.
“Moms who possess this parenting style are afraid or avoids setting boundaries for fear of upsetting or disappointing their kids, and therefore avoid saying no.”
