Rising 221 feet above the Charlestown neighborhood of Boston, Bunker Hill Monument has been a feature of the city skyline since 1843. The monument commemorates a single day's fighting in the American Revolution. The Battle of Bunker Hill took place on June 17, 1775. The British won the battle. But the Americans showed that a rag-tag group of farmers and merchants could hang in against a global superpower. Their bravery went a long way to convince many colonists that they could win their independence.

Types of parenting styles these days actually outnumber books on parenting! From tiger moms to gentle parenting, which style is best for you? Finding your parenting style is a bit like finding your tribe. With so many categories (and sub-categories), it can be a challenge to find the right fit. Are you a Koala parent like Kim Kardashian or a permissive mom like Jada Pinkett Smith?

The good news is you don't have to settle on one single style. The better news is we've brought together some of the top types of parenting styles here, so you can see what everyone is talking about, and figure out which style(s) intuitively make the most sense to you. Plus, you'll be able to distinguish the helicopter parents from the bulldozers at the next school function!

Hopefully, these types of parenting styles will make you feel seen, as you recognize like-minded parenting schools of thought. Kind of like these funny parenting memes, that give you a chuckle and let you know you're not alone.

Before we put this year in our rear-view, we thought we'd take a moment to remember the best openings, happenings, and more with a Connecticut kid edition of he Best of 2022. From immersive art to dinosaur fun, there were new exhibits and attractions to delight Connecticut families in 2022. A family favorite added a new holiday experience, while the Beardsley Zoo's Centennial brought a host of events to town. These attractions brought some wonderful experiences and great memories for kids in Connecticut. And while we look forward to more family fun in 2023, we remember 2022 with the best of Connecticut and the top openings and happenings from around the country. We wish you a safe and happy new year!
