Noun Informal .
A style of child rearing in which an overprotective mother or father discourages a child's independence by being too involved in the child's life: In typical helicopter parenting, a mother or father swoops in at any sign of challenge or discomfort.
NOPE. I cannot tell you enough how much I disagree with this! It's one thing being there for your child but it's another thing not giving them enough room to breathe and learn from their own mistakes.
I was reading stories from children that have these types of parents and what they say is horrible! I felt so sad for them. This one man told a story about how his mother would not let him wipe his own bum until he was 15. I mean, forget about parenting that's just sexual abuse. Another one was this young man recalling his childhood/ teen years of how his parents wouldn't let him have friends in fear that something or some one would hurt him. And then they got mad at him for not having friends and would punish him. I cant even find words for a reaction. Way to mess up your kid! No bueno.
I don't understand, whats so wrong with raising your child with a little humility? We want to raise our children by giving them tools to take accountability and figure out how to fix the dilemma they are in. Its called life skills people! Of course I can understand that your kid is your little angel but I not sorry I refuse to raise my kid as a spoiled brat that cant do anything wrong. I just, I don't know. We want to give our kids the tools to help themselves. We will always be there for our kids-don't get me wrong, but I want them to try to figure out the situation by themselves first and then if they need help, we will give it to them.
NO.
