            Parents are the one constant in a child's life.  They provide comfort, food, shelter, and life lessons.  A child learns most of their behavior either from their friends or their parents.  A parents level of involvement in their child's life can be pivotal in the child's development.  As printed in USA Today, "Professors often refer to the children of helicopter parents as teacups because they are ready to break at the slightest stress" (Bruzzese 1).  And the opposite, the detached, uninvolved parenting style is just as problematic.  On this website we have provided you, the reader, with a tab called "How to Succeed".  We invite you to browse through this tab to learn how to succeed as a parent and ensure your child has the brightest tomorrow possible.  By exploring this website, you are already one step closer to a more profound and insightful understanding of today's youth.
