Raising Successful Kids

Parents want what's best for their kids, but are too many of them over-parenting? When we swoop in to tie our kids' shoes, constantly call just to check if they're O.K., help them write their college entrance essay -- and by help, let's not kid ourselves, we mean write the thing -- are we really helping them? On the next Sound of Ideas: Learning how to stand back, let them make mistakes and watch them thrive. It may be harder than it sounds. Thursday morning at 9:00.
