If the kid is alright, let it be.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So says a new study on parenting which found that micromanaging focused children can do far more harm than good.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cParents have been conditioned to find ways to involve themselves, even when kids are on task and actively playing or doing what they\u2019ve been asked to do,\u201d said Stanford Graduate School of Education associate professor and lead author Jelena Obradovi\u0107 in a press release<\/a> for the study<\/a>, which was published Thursday in the Journal of Family Psychology.\u00a0<\/p>\n

More involvement, however, is not always better.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Too] much direct engagement can come at a cost to kids\u2019 abilities to control their own attention, behavior and emotions. When parents let kids take the lead in their interactions, children practice self-regulation skills and build independence,\u201d Obradovi\u0107 went on.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In other words, parents, maybe don\u2019t do your kids\u2019 science<\/a> fair projects for them. <\/p>\n

For the research, Obradovi\u0107 and her team studied a group of 102 children aged 4 to 6 and their primary caregivers over the course of two and a half hours at a Stanford lab. The children were given various tasks intended to study their self-regulation. Researchers found that, especially for more emotional tasks, when children were app<\/a>ropriately on task, parents being very involved \u2014 asking questions, making suggestions, corrections, offering further instruction \u2014 was correlated with the child having more trouble and behavioral issues.<\/p>\n

When children were only passively engaged, and not actively on task, researchers didn\u2019t find a link between parental over-engagement and children behaviorally struggling more.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The finding comes at a time, the release notes, when the conversation around parenting is increasingly critical of \u201chelicopter\u201d and \u201csnowplow\u201d parenting which, despite its often good intentions, can end up being counterproductive to kids\u2019 development.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Obradovi\u0107 hopes parents don\u2019t interpret her findings as critical of parents engaging with children. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we talk about parental over-engagement, we\u2019re not saying it\u2019s bad or obviously intrusive engagement,\u201d she clarified. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing wrong with suggesting ideas or giving tips to children.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parents should, however, \u201ctry to find opportunities to let [kids] take the lead.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
