Hyper Parents & Coddled Kids

Kids these days: the horror, the horror... Hyper Parents & Coddled Kids, great doc at 10pm tonight on CBC News Network. http://ow.ly/14knT

Are today's well-meaning parents giving their children a leg up in life, or creating problems that will last their child's lifetime? The new CBC documentary Hyper Parents & Coddled Kids explores the cultural pressures on parents to be hyper-parents and the impact it has on their children.

The current trend of over-parenting began in the early 1980's when baby boomers - who ended up having fewer children, later in life - started having kids, and it has continued down the line.

Hyper Parents & Coddled Kids is co-directed by Sharon Bartlett and friend of United Way of the Lower Mainland Maria LeRose for  Dreamfilm Productions in association with CBC-TV.
