Changes in the dimensions of childhood within the family and in the exercise of parenting in recent years have been calling the attention of professionals involved in education because of the impact they are causing on learning. Excessive parenting (overparenting) has been presented as a trend in some Western societies, characterized by little encouragement from parents to the development of the child's autonomy, by huge interference where it is expected to be able to work by itself, by the difficulties in let the child deal with frustrations and by excessive extra-curricular activities for the development of potential abilities. Observations have been made that this action of the parents has brought losses to the child´s learning process, hindering the construction of authorship of thought and the creation of an autonomous subject able to act upon the world.
