Overparenting


Helicopter Parents: The Backlash Against Overparenting - TIME


Absolutely excellent article on why too much bubblewrapping is changing our children. I'm not much of a helicopter, but even I found things in this article that described me, and realized that I really need to backpedal in an area or two.

A few months later, Kara says....AMEN! I have a couple areas of work as well, but my biggest complaint is people who sue other people. That's why so much of this stuff has started happinging, ie. playground equipment being removed, extreme safety measures in schools and public places, etc. It's ridiculous!
