In her TEDx talk Barbara Connolly investigates how college obsession, which took root for her in a childhood experience, helped her children later to go to good colleges. Ms. Connolly examines how “helicopter parents,” with all the associated negatives, are actually rare, and an involved parent, better described as a “Tow Truck Parent,” is the type of parenting style she encourages.
