Wait, this is new?<p>This has been a problem for the past 2 or 3 decades. When people stopped having 4+ kids. It is worse when the kid is the only one.<p>But I think we are past that. New generations of parents, because they were subjected to this kind of over parenting (I wouldn&#x27;t agree with the term though), they are aware of the issue and seem to handle parenting much better.
