It reads like PR, focusing on one author and their opinion (expressed in a recently released book) rather than a spectrum of writers / researchers. This is unfortunate given the historical references to 'helicopter parenting' and other writing that has covered the issue.
I'm not saying it wasn't an informative and interesting read, on the contrary, it was. I was merely pointing out the PR nature of the article.
