Here is an interesting article about micro-managing your kids, and why this is not a good thing.

Here is a link to the article called, "Parents, stop micro-managing your kids", which appeared in the Victoria Times-Colonist paper and written by Lisa Kadane, Calgary Herald.

Here is a quote from the article. "It's a sobering and startling look at how parents' well-meant intentions -- to help their kids in any way possible -- may actually be backfiring, instead creating a generation of kids who are depressed and anxious, who lack self confidence and coping skills."

It is a good article which kids should to bring to the attention of their parents, and the parents should read.

It's not enough to read and agree - yep, we are doing that. It would help if there was a parent-child action plan to free the child from the burden so freely given by their parents.

Good listening...
