A really interesting documentary on hyper-parenting and what we are setting our kids up for. I can see myself in these parents. It scares me. I hope I can find a balance. Check it out:

Be careful or your children will have a hard time as adults. They will harbour resentment, have low self-esteem and self-worth. They will have a hard time being in relationships, will have failed marriage and most likely will have one or more divorces. Parents that spoil children are doing them a disservice. Teaching children the importance and value of time management and money, to accept and value failures, and to enhance their independence will create grounded children. Giving your children everything will prompt them to have low coping skills.

I agree. I think we are doing pretty good but that documentary made me see that we could use some adjustments around here.

My biggest challenge is being too overprotective.
