Over parenting?
by Jaime on Aug.07, 2006, under General
Teaching various martial arts, I have noticed how different kids interact to different situations and to each other. I have always enjoyed people watching, and specifically watching the social interactions that make up people’s everyday life.
MSN had an interesting article up about how the latest generation of kids are turning out to be overanxious thanks to growing up in an environment where mom and dad provide everything including the solutions to all of the problems thier child will face in life.

It is a long article and worth the read. Interestingly enough, there is a section on cell phone use and how they might influence the social and mental developement of youth today. Their use is something I have commented on, but I never connected that it might have further reaching and deeper impacts beyond the obvious.
