37、ves drawn to the idea that with just a bit more parental hard work and effort, we might turn out children with bright futures. But is there anything wrong with a kind of “overparenting style”?Parental involvement has a long history of being studied. Many of the studies, conducted by Diana Baumrind,

Dr. Dwecks work strongly supports that of Dr. Baumrind, who also found that reasonably supporting a childs independence and limi
