[quote=Anonymous]The teacher posting the “snow plow” parenting approach is in line with what I have observed. It seems there is a segment of parents who do not want their children to experience any disappointment. So they “snow plow” obstacles. This includes seeing their children’s behaviors as “doing no wrong”—it is always someone else’s fault, socially engineering friendships, and giving constant praise where it is not necessary (giving the child a false sense of ability - i.e. the American Idol audition effect). This is an easy trap to fall into—we all want our children to be happy. But plowing away difficulties doesn’t teach resilience and independence. Thanks for the reminder, teacher PP.[/quote]
