Citing the (highly critical) work of Psychology Today columnist Hara Estroff Marano, she points out that American parents are doing their job just fine.
Marano, an editor-at-large at Psychology Today, tells about a high school in Washington State that required students to write an eight-page paper and present a ten-minute oral report before graduating.
Parents are "breeding ineptitude, " by allowing and in some cases encouraging children to hand off those jobs, says Hara Estroff Marano, author of "A Nation of Wimps" and editor-at-large at Psychology Today.
