S1 E6: Helicopter Parents

What happens when parents care too much? When they become the “CEO’s” of their child's life? Do these parents ultimately help or hurt their children? Why are certain racial groups stereotyped as good parents while others, usually black and brown parents, are stereotyped as negligent and absent? How do cultural values impact parenting? Join us, and special guest co-host Nikhil Ghosh as we start to tackle these questions by talking to a variety of teachers, researcher Julie Lythcott-Haims (yes she did give a TED talk about this), and hear a monologue from Melisa Olgun reflecting on her relationship with her mother.
