  • What worry me most are the examples of overparenting that have the potential to ruin a child's confidence and undermine an education in independence. According to the the authors, parents guilty of this kind of overparenting "take their child's perception as truth, regardless of the facts," and are "quick to believe their child over the adult and deny the possibility that their child was at fault or would even do something of that nature."
  • But children make mistakes, and when they do, it's vital that parents remember that the educational benefits of consequences are a gift, not a dereliction of duty

    This is an interesting article for all you students who have parents who may be tempted in "overparenting." I am sure none of your parents do this but sometimes it can actually be detrimental to you when your parents help you with everything. Oftentimes, defending our mistakes will hurt us when owning up to our mistakes will improve our character.  Failing should be motivation not pity.
