Article on "over-parenting"

Recently while in our lunchroom at work, where people bring in old magazines to share, a cover article on a magazine caught my eye. It was an article by Nancy Gibbs entitled "The Case Against Over-Parenting: Why Mom and Dad need to cut the strings" in the November 30, 2009 issue of Time magazine. Because just about any parenting article interests me, I scooped it up (and had to laugh out loud as I read it because I actually own a cookbook cited in this article, among other things). I thought the article was thought provoking in many ways and though a couple months old, worth sharing with the group.
