The Overparenting Trap: Raising Independent Resilient Kids

  • Summary

  • In this episode of the New Mexico Momcast, Becca and Vanessa discuss the hidden challenges of overparenting, exploring how hovering and micro-managing can stifle a child’s natural resilience and independence. We’ll unpack the downsides of helicopter parenting, discuss the impact of excessive screen time, and examine the current mental health crisis affecting kids and teens. Our conversation will offer insights into how we, as parents, can encourage growth, autonomy, and grit in our children, ultimately helping them thrive in an increasingly complex world.
