Parenting Trends for 2016 You Need To Know About

Childcare website Care.com gave out a parenting forecast for 2016. It includes giving new borns with hybrid names, letting go of helicopter parenting, and two-nanny families among others.

Katie Bugbee, senior managing editor and global parenting expert at Care.com explains that the rise of millennial parents are paving the way for a shift in the usual parenting trend, "We are beginning to see parents-especially millennial parents-make fundamental shifts in their approach to raising children."

"With more dual-income households, greater access to technology, and shifts in parental roles, family dynamics are changing and giving rise to some exciting and positive parenting trends," Bugbee said.

Below are the four parenting trends that are expected to gain momentum in 2016:

1. Swipe left for helicopter parenting

Millennials, who had helicopter parents, who micromanaged every aspect of their lives, are now swiping left on the helicopter trend. Instead, this generation of new parents are adopting a third-child style of parenting characterized as more relaxed and encourages the child of  greater independence. Bugbee adds, "millennial parents will evoke an Elsa-like let it go- approach."

2. The rise of the super nannies

Based on Care.com 2015 stats, they saw an increase in job posts for nannies and caregivers requesting certain degrees, life saving skills special life saving skills and licenses.

3. Hybrid names

Today's parents are finding ways to create a unique name for their babies by combining two names of favorite family member and fusing it into one (Jane + Lily = Jaily). Also, the Lorelei Gilmore Effect is back, so expect daughters being named after their moms the same way are sons are being named after their dads.

4. Two Nanny Family

For 2016, as the families take on less conventional work hours, Care.com predicts they'll become more creative in building a care team, consisting of multiple nannies to help the family throughout the week.

The benefits for this care plan include: less overtime pay since the work hour will be spread to multiple caregivers, more variety for the kids, and the ability to hire caregivers with different strengths for different needs within the family.
