Twenty years ago, I met a couple with a young son who decided not to let the kid have sugar. I wonder how that might have worked out for the kid now that he’s grown.
I assume the kid hit 18 and went on a sugar binge as soon as he tasted it the first time.
Anyone have experience with this?
I think in this context it means to be a “helicopter parent”. One that hovers over their child ready to act. I compare it to a smothering style of parenting
