More on Hyper-Parenting

Though Hyper Marketing involves parents to care too much for their kids, but it also has a lot of repercussive effects. Some parents may feel that they are overcaring for their children because their parents didn't care from them better during their childhood. Nobody wants their kid to be hurt or be sad. But the truth is, if your child is always saved from these situations, he's going to start to feel like there's something wrong with him like he's either not smart enough or strong enough to handle a situation on his own.

It's not only a problem for children, but for their parents, too. The reason why a lot of parents end up doing this is because they, from birth, a lot of parents feel like they have to orchestrate their child's life. A good example of hyper-parenting is the tendency to sign children up for multiple activities, expecting them to excel at them all. That's not the point in having your child do a lot of activities, so he'll be great at everything.

There are few kids that are great at everything. It's important to expose them to a lot of different activities so they can find out what they are passionate about and love. Those are the activities that they are going to try their hardest at and excel at. Actually it a truth that the Hyper-Parenting parents need to understand that not anyone can be great at all the things at the same time.

Avoiding Hyper-Parenting in the Indian Scenario:
Majorly, avoiding the Hyper-parenting attribute involves the following factors. Firstly the parents must make themselves free atleast during the weekends when the children are at home. Secondly, a healthy skepticism and advise must be given to the children to identify the rights and wrongs that the children are doing rather than completely, allowing the children to take all decisions by themselves. Though, giving a decision making power to children is good, but definitely not necessary in all the cases.
