COMELLAS I CARBO, Maria Jesús. Interdependence between family and school: A new paradigm to reduce overprotection. Rev. psicopedag. [online]. 2019, vol.36, n.110, pp. 163-175. ISSN 0103-8486.

The role of the family in the exercise of parenthood is analyzed as a factor of protection, essential for the integral development of their children due to the clear disorientation of many parental practices that cause an increase in overprotection. This family response is due to the great diversity of information in the media and social networks suggesting Solomonic solutions, with alarmist approaches, to the complexity of today's society. This adult disorientation translates into a distortion of the adult role, increased fears and distrust in relation to educational action and greater immaturity and dependence in the child and adolescent population. A change of paradigm is proposed that incurs and offers a different perspective that avoids the feeling of guilt and stimulates the constant debates between institutions and families avoiding the transfer of responsibilities especially towards families. It is not possible to demand that they act with educational criteria and, at the same time, assume responsibilities in relation to school performance, since it generates, in some sectors, absolute helplessness. This change of approach is necessary to face the educational difficulties by changing the objectives to model the relationships with an approach based on interdependence and not from the neoliberal perspective generated by this class and segregated approach. Only in this way can security be recovered, and the implication reinforced, in a cooperative and shared way, assuming one's responsibilities without the demands that create lower social class.
