Hyper Parents and Coddled Kids.

Video: The "Hyper Parent and Coddled Kids" video explains the fact that in today's society kids are babied around even until they get their first job. Parents feel the need to provide the best for their children, and this video shows that most parents think that enrolling kids into more programs then they can handle is the way to do that for their kids. Some parents are even okay with spending $1200 a month to send their child to pre-school, that ends up costing them $14000 a year! My university schooling won't even cost that much. And what are these kids learning that costs their parents so much? Some parents are so obsessed with what their children are doing that they are okay with implanting a chip into their child's arm so that they can track their child's every minute. Parents just want to best for their children which is understandable but the limits that they go to today to get the best for them seems a little bit unreasonable, studies have been done and letting the children learn on their own, will help the children later on in life. So hopefully babying our children won't last for much longer or else our future doesn't look too bright.
