Re: Over-parenting - great article in Time

  • I read it also and completely agree.  I think parenting has changed a lot over time, and not necessarily for the better.  I asked MH if I could give the article to his ex-wife since she is QUEEN of over parenting my step-kids.....somehow neither of us thought it'd go over very well.  All kidding aside, the damage she's doing to those kids by over parenting is astounding.
  • Just read it and loved it.  So true!  As a teacher I see a lot of this.  Yes.....come and see your child's Winter concert, but you don't need to come to both dress rehearsals AND the concert!  It doesn't make you the best parent there!

  • Very interesting article.  I was a Co-op Coordinator at our University for several years.  I actually had a parent come in to speak with me after I gave her son a C on his work term paper.

    I showed it to Russ and the first thing he said after looking at the picture of the woman bubble wrapping her child is "that's you...."  Apparently I need to bookmark the article!
