Helping or hurting? That's the question to ask. Not everything that looks good is, and not everything that seems to be the "right thing" really is. There are a lot of techniques, toys and teachings that were created to help kids grow, but actually stunt their growth. There is such a thing as too much help, too much support...too much attention. The naked reality is that there were many things created and sold over the last decade that do not help our kids learn and mature, instead they create an environment that holds them back.
