You all know the sport curling, and you know that the brooms are used to cause friction and remove any dirt, which will help the stone on its way down.
Curling parents is an expression used here in Sweden for the 80’s generation, where parents “brush” every obstacle which might appear ahead of the kid(s), as to sweep away the hassle. This, often, causes over-protected kids who when one day are faced with a problem they must solve on their own, all of a sudden are not fully equipped and capable to do so.
I read today that an approximate 10% of all from the 80’s generation attending a job interview, have one of their parents helping out, present, negotiating salary.
Is that really a good idea?
