This chapter discusses the problems that arise from a combination of permissive parenting and over-functioning parenting. The lack of feedback from children and the competitive nature of parenting contribute to this issue. The focus on achievements and external markers of success has overshadowed the development of resilience and intrinsic qualities in children.
On this edition of Weekend Conversations, host Robert Glazer and producer Mick Sloan have a wide-ranging conversation on how parenting approaches have continued to evolve in the past decade, as parents stay heavily involved in their kids lives well into their college lives--and beyond. Robert shares a parallel between this parenting approach and the widely critiqued leadership approach of micromanagement, and how to help the people you lead grow by letting them fail from time to time.
