Used by Stephen Colbert in his hit television show The Colbert Report. Refers to the increasing tendency of
parents to medicate their children with pharmaceutical
drugs for every little perceived behavioral abnormality their children exhibit even though many such behaviors (such as restlessness) are
normal.

Sarah is really into psychopharmaparenting. She has her
kids on at least five different medications because she thinks that
children should be able to sit perfectly still all the time.
