I don't know... As a parent I feel my job is to prepare my kids for failure by encouraging them to show grit, determination, and resiliency.  Dealing with success is relatively easy, but learning how to bounce back from failure is not.

I think you prepare a child for success when you teach them how to deal with failure.  You can't get up unless you fall down, and if you have never failed then you have never tried.

Plus 1.  The part helicopter parents miss is letting them fail.  Else wise how can you learn?
