6 Ways You Are Being Overprotective Without Knowing It

It's likely you've heard about overparenting, but what's so bad about it? Overparenting, which is also called helicopter parenting, is being over protective of our kids.

As adults, children who were "overparented" may be overly entitled and lack important life skills, according to psychiatrist Dr. Marcia Sirota, which makes them less employable. Yikes!
