The Child Trap

In The Child Trap, I thought most of the things that were mentioned were pretty true. I think it's interesting how the authors of all the books claim that over-parenting has become an emergency. When you think about it, it doesn't seem like it would be that big of a deal, but when you listen to the arguments, you realize how important is has become. But then you also hear how the USA isn't as bad as some other countries, which made me really think about how the other countries must be doing. 

I had very different experiences then most of the people in the article. When I was younger, my mom was basically perfect. She was never not around, but she didn't hover like some parents do. She made sure I had everything I needed, nothing I didn't, and never butted in unless she thought I really needed it or if I asked for help.
