Chop-chop-chop. I can hear you hovering nearby. Ask yourself this question: are you reading this PARENTING blog to make yourself a better parent? Or are you reading it to make your kid a glowing success of a life-long-winning individual? Or did you even know there was a difference? We’re a curious breed, we the parent-class of the twenty-first century. They tell us we coddle our kids to the point of undoing the good we’ve tried so hard to foster. They tell us we nurture our tots (and into teens… and beyond) to their harm, and we’re creating a generation of uber-ego-spoilt-kiddos. Fact? Fiction? Myth? Or simply mayhem?

For now, this is pretty much just a placeholder page, but come back soon and I’ll pack this place full of useful SCIENCE-BASED info on what I’ve uncovered on this emerging trend… if anything.
