Title: Overparenting as a Barrier to Development, Learning, and Well-bing (Information & Practice Resource)
Description: Research findings over the past 30 plus years consistently emphasize the value of home support for schooling. Moreover, with respect to students who are not doing well at school, efforts to enhance home involvement are a basic element of the overall approach to addressing factors interfering with school learning and performance. In the last decade, however, some concerns have
emerged as more research has focused on parenting practices that are developmentally inappropriate and in conflict with a school’s prevailing social
and cultural standards (e.g., research on parents who are viewed as overprotective, overcontrolling, overpressuring).Access at: http://smhp.psych.ucla.edu/pdfdocs/overparent.pdf
