Parents are spending more time with their kids than ever—but is that a good thing? A University of California study found that “today's mothers spend twice as long with their kids and fathers four times as long compared to 50 years ago.” But the author of How to Raise an Adult: Break Free of the Overparenting Trap and Prepare Your Kid for Success believes that the decline of neighborhoods is keeping children from spending time with communities, and could ultimately be contributing to the trend. She warns that kids raised by “helicopter” parents may not feel truly “cared for.” (Business Insider)
