Higher Ed: KUT's Jennifer Stayton And Dr. Ed Burger On Helping "Helicopter" Parents Land Safely

"Higher Ed" recently took the show on the road and taped a few podcast episodes in front of an audience at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas. In this episode of the KUT podcast "Higher Ed," Southwestern University President Dr. Ed Burger and KUT's Jennifer Stayton discuss the topic of "helicopter" parents with an audience of - yes - parents and students. Ed and Jennifer took questions about the impact on students' learning and development of parents who hover too much, and how to help parents and students make some healthy adjustments to those dynamics.
