[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1567815, member: 14585"] Snowplow parents aka lawn mowing or bulldozer parenting in some places, is defined as parents who remove obstacles to smooth the path in life for their children. NY Times article: How Parents Are Robbing Their Children Of Adulthood. 75% of parents with children 18-28 yrs old still schedule doctor and dentist appointments for them. In addition 75% call/text to remind them of barber/beautician appointments. 16% with children in college call/text to make sure they get up in time for class on test days. 8% have called a school counselor to inquire/discuss getting a grade changed. 11% said they would contact the employer if they heard their 18-28 yr old had an issue at work. Some child development 'experts' blame the current record rate of anxiety experienced by young adults on their lack of problem solving skills due to parents not allowing them to encounter failure. One recommended book is "You're Not Special And Other Words Of Encouragement". Hypocrites Actress Felicity Huffman had a parenting blog (taken down last week) In her blog she extolled the virtues of treating children like adults and described raising children as one long journey of teaching them to overcome obstacles. She also praised schoolchildren for "walking into a building everyday, full the unknown, the challenging, the potential of failure". Last week Felicity Huffman age 56 was accused of paying $15,000 to a SAT proctor to retake the test for her daughter which greatly increased her daughter's previous SAT score. Details of the scores were not released. So not sure how dumb or which of her two daughters is $15,000 dumber than the other. [/QUOTE]
