Kids today

Read a very interesting article in physciology today about over anxious parenting can cause depression in kids in their 20's.
Basically it was saying Kids need some difficulties and trials and challenges to help them grow into trully confident adults. I suppose I liked it because it confirmed our style of parenting which is not raising Princes or princesses but real people who know life is sometimes unfair and hard. This style is particularly unusual in the USA. where parents do the kids homework so they dont fail !!! and most kids are raised believing they can do anything!!!! (pop idol culture ) which is not true and then they discover they can't or someone else is better and they feel a failure and suffer depression as a result. it gave me lots to think about !!!
