This sort of attitude is a really scary thing -- the west seems on the brink of losing all of its values. How on earth am I going to make sure that my 5 year old doesn't end up this way?

Probably the most important thing you can do is you can try to NOT be a helicopter parent.

  I've never heard that term before...is that an over protective parent?
