Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi says parents are doing kids a ‘disservice’ with this common parenting habit
Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi has warned that excessive parental protection, or 'helicopter parenting,' can hinder children's long-term development. He argued that shielding kids from challenges prevents them from building resilience and independence, which are crucial for character development and finding satisfaction in life. Dara Khosrowshahi said that by helping children all the time, parents are doing a disservice to their kids, a comment appreciated by tech billionaire Michael Dell.
