I
have heard nothing of this book coming into reading. I have never read anything
by the author before. Have never really read a non-fiction story before, only
for research and school-required reading.
All
this said, I look forward to reading this book. I saw it on the top of the library
shelf, and I was immediately hooked. My dad has made me very aware of how
present invasive parents are in my surroundings. He umpires local little league
baseball games for 8-12 year olds. I always can look forward to hearing tales
of when parents flip out on him. These are often the parents that make their
sons play baseball, even if the kids don’t want to. I have read the intro and
first chapter already, and a main cause of “helicopter parenting” has been that
parents are trying to re-live their younger days through their kids, and the kids
suffer as a result. It’s been clear to me for a long time that this style of
parenting can’t be good for kids. So I look forward to reading about the exact
causes and effects of invasive parenting. Which I just realized ties in well
with the writing unit. It should be great!
