In the article “Why Parents Need to Let Their Children Fail” Lahey illustrates overprotective parents (helicopter parenting). Lahey shows a perfect example at the beginning of the article where a mother wrote her child's essay and plagiarized it; she gave excuses like my kid has a lot of work or I don’t want her to be overstressed.
