Hyper-Parenting-Too Involved?

Hyper-parenting.  In my clinical work I see the negative effects in children and adults.  The single theme?  Controlling parents (aka helicopter parents).  Parents who do not allow a child/person to be themselves as much as possible.  Add in harshness as a parent and you get children who think they are a fraud and cannot regulate themselves.  Yes you do need to discipline a child, no doubt.  You also have to LET THEM BE.  Get out of the way and a child can actually grow.  Better yet, LET THEM WIN and their confidence will grow.
