  • her daughter would receive a zero for the plagiarized paper.
  • parents who raise their children in a state of helplessness and powerlessness, children destined to an anxious adulthood, lacking the emotional resources they will need to cope with inevitable setback and failure.
  • Overparenting is characterized in the study as parents' "misguided attempt to improve their child's current and future personal and academic success."

  • 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.

    An eleven year old boy in Spain did not have very good grades the past couple weeks. So in order for his parents not to meet his teacher, he faked being kidnapped. He sent a text message to his father, who is a police officer, saying he had been put in a car and was being driven somewhere. After many measures were taken to find the boy, his father found him in their other apartment. Thankfully for the boy the police station has not pressed charges.

    Shin Dong-hyuk was born on Camp 14 (an infamous prison camp in North Korea), which is one of the cruelest in the system of hard labor camps there.His parents never knew each other and were forced to be married. Shin grew up with nothing more than beatings, torture, and snitching that were part of everyday life at the camp. He did many things to stay alive includding eating roasted rats to stay alive. Then when a fellow inmate was very nice, showed him a glimpse of the outside world that he had never seen. Shin escaped when he was 23 years old in search of some food. From the camp he made it to China and eventually down into Seoul, South Korea where he was given refuge.

    In Suffolk, Virginia two boys were playing with pencils and making machine gun noises. Normal boy play right? Well, I guess not to the teacher. She brought both boys to the principal office and they got suspended for two days...for playing with pencils.
