Do you constantly do things for your kids? Not to be kind and helpful, but more because you just can't help yourself? Do you take over when they struggle with a task? Do you redo things they've already done? If you answered yes to any of these, you too might be an over-parenter. (See Also: Snowplow Parent, Lawnmower Mom). This episode is about why we over parent and why we should try to stop.
