Snow plough parenting may hurt children's resilience
Original: 'Snow plough parenting' could damage children's confidence and ability to cope with failure
Experts warn that 'snow plough parenting' — where parents clear every obstacle out of their children's path — could damage children's confidence and leave them unable to cope with failure. The approach, seen as an intensification of helicopter parenting, is being criticised for shielding children from challenges they need to experience in order to build independence and resilience.
Why now: Ongoing debate about overprotective parenting styles and their effects on children's development.
