The Crippling of America's Youth
Weekly Tip from the Love and Logic^® Experts

Dear Tara,

I just received this email from one of our wonderful customers:

Dear Mr. Fay,

I have been to many Love and Logic trainings and have been passing along the lessons for some time. I just wanted to share with you a personal story of something that happened today which just proves what you have been teaching all this time. I thought of you instantly. I will keep all details out to protect the business and the person involved.

At a current place of business, which is a corporate/professional level, highly skilled type business, a young (meaning twenty-something) gentleman showed up for an interview today with his parents. Yes, they really did sit in on the interview. No, he did not really need them there.

Apparently, they were to help with his nervousness and morale, and they wanted to help him with the discussion regarding salary.

Now here is the very definition of helicopter parents that do not have a grasp of boundaries and have enabled their "baby."

Needless to say, this particular candidate was not the one chosen.

Hope this story may help you during some presentation to get the point across that we are crippling our youth.

Sincerely,

Marlene, a loyal Love and Logic advocate

The audio CD, Helicopters, Drill Sergeants, and Consultants has been one of our most popular audios for many years, but never before has it been so important for parents to understand the damage that can be done out of love. If you don’t own it, get it today. Listen first for the laughs and several more times for the skills. And, yes, it’s great for your kids to hear it with you in the car. If you're interested in learning more skills to raise responsible kids, come out to our Summer Conference.

Thanks for reading.
