    The article I chose to write a critical review over is titled Don’t Aim Too High for Your Kids: Parental Overaspiration Undermines Students’ Learning in Mathematics written by Murayama, Pekrun, Suzuki, Marsh, and Lichtenfeld. This study was done to find the effects of kids whose parents have aspirations that far exceed the expectations they have for their kid. (which this article defines as being two different things.) For this study, they used a sample of kids and their parents from Germany. An independent sample was also used with a U.S. family, which was a strength of their research as it helped back up their claims because both independent studies had found the same results, being that unreasonably high expectations for a child can have…

    Welcome to America, where being overweight is the least of concerns and is actually described as normal!

With more than two thirds of Americans overweight or obese, it is fair to say America is bulging at the seams. Although it can’t be said for all 318 million citizens, America is awfully stereotyped to be increasingly overweight. When it comes to food and health, people are always overindulging in the most unhealthy food.…

    The Overparenting Epidemic Most adults remember being a kid and wanting to have the freedom to live life, but not being able to have that freedom due to their own parents’ fears of the world. It is a parent’s job to use their past to reflect on their own child's’ future, which involves knowing their boundaries and not becoming what is known as a “helicopter parent.” The idea of helicopter parents is a topic discussed and debated for years. It is believed by some that parents should linger over their kids trying to be there with them through it all, while others understand kids should not have their parents carrying them through life; instead, it is necessary to have them learn through trial and error and get few bumps and bruises along the way. Parenting can be a tricky thing, but there is a time to surrender and allow the child to grow on their own.…
