Struggles of parenting in the 21st century

Parents in the 21st century face challenges when they excessively intervene in their children's lives, going as far as reaching out to professionals on their children's behalf. Encouraging independence and initiative in children is essential, rather than solving their problems for them. Overprotective parenting can lead to young adults struggling with basic tasks as they enter the workforce, as they lack the necessary skills to manage daily responsibilities. Parents need to transition from providing constant support to teaching their children self-reliance and goal pursuit to foster their confidence and competence in work, relationships, and life, ultimately contributing to their overall well-being and success.
