'Curling' parenting means parents try to clear their kids' 'paths of every obstacle, hoping they can simply glide through life'. But when real life kicks in - the problems begin. Is this one of the causes of record numbers of Swedish teenagers with mental health issues? Psychiatrist David Eberhard and Louise, a school counsellor, discuss with presenter Christopher Harding.
