Is it at all possible that the over-protective parenting 'trend' is itself sensationalized and not true to life so that when we see one we think 'omg, another overprotective parent - what is the world coming to?' or on the other side of the coin making parents think it's normal and what is expected of them? (let's face it, flying in the face of the norm is a risk)

I'm 22 so I have no idea. I don't know a tonne of people who are parents of young children nor do I really pay attention when the TV is talking about anything parenting related.
