Killing our kids with kindness?

Should school enrolment of children be delayed until they are six years of age?

Researchers want to know if modern-day Australian parents are killing their kids with kindness by micromanaging their lives.

A team of researchers from the University of Queensland and QUT are seeking Australian parents of children aged five to 12 for an online survey on parenting in the 21st century.

Dr Helen Stallman, from the University of Queensland's School of Medicine, says today's parents are dealing with a very different set of challenges than previous generations, including poor perceptions about community safety.
