Uddrag
Parents today are to overprotective and they think it is their job to help their kids get as few emotional and physical scars as possible. These kids have never faced real challenges on their own and they have always been given unrealistic praises from their parents.
"You're the fastest runner on the team," or "You're the smartest kid in your grade," (ll. 31-32) this does not help them at all it just puts so much pressure on them and when they cannot live up to the pressure they break and end up with depression and anxiety.
Instead of protecting their kids from challenges and failure they should act as guidance and not protective parents who removes everything on their kids’ path. Alternately they should teach their kids how to face the challenges the right way instead of shielding them from the problem.
