If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you are an over-involved parent.
Children feel awkward and uncomfortable if their moms and dads listen to their music, where their style of clothes, or use their slang. They feel the same way when their parents become over-involved with their school; friends or other leisure sports activities, especially sports.

Worse yet, too much parental involvement can stifle a child's enjoyment of the sport and cause her to quit altogether.
