I clicked on the link. It appears there actually are several unrelated essays which, inexplicably, have been posted together as one article here.

What do you expect? It's a "CBN" article. I did find this bit interesting

"Helicopter Parents: Yes, here’s an actual term being used to describe the overbearing parents who hover over their Generation Y kids, swooping in at a moment’s notice to eliminate any adversity in their child’s life. A mother showed up for a job interview because her 18-yr-old daughter was “too busy” to make the appointment. Parents are intervening to negotiate salaries and direct work environments. Protecting and training is one thing. But at some point a child will need to take responsibility."
