Are we overparenting our children? For example, constantly saying things like "we have a playdate," "we are going to college," and "we have soccer practice." Of course we want the best for our kids but we may be making it too easy to succeed and too hard to fail. In other words, making it nearly impossible for kids to problem solve, build resilience and become independent. Maria Sansone chats with Julie Lythcott-Haims, the New York Times Bestselling Author of the anti-helicopter parenting manifesto "How to Raise an Adult," to challenge all of this. Julie helps to define what helicopter/overparenting is, how we can help set our kids up for success and gives us tools to sharpen our intention.
