“Helicopter parenting” describes a style of raising children where parents are overprotective and do too much. It describes parents who watch over their kids at home and on the playground like a helicopter. Today, modern technology allows these helicopter parents to watch over from even far away.
Julie Lythcott wrote a book titled Break Free of the Over Parenting Trap and Prepare Your Kids for Success. In her book, she gives readers a closer look at this parenting style.
Julie Lythcott says she experienced the effects of helicopter parenting firsthand when she worked as dean of first year college students. But many were unable to take care of themselves. They were turning to parents constantly for guidance, for problem solving, to have them make the choice about something.
So as a parent, what can you do if you want to break the over-parenting “helicopter” cycle?
Stop saying “we” when you mean your son or your daughter. All too often a parent would say “we are on the travel soccer team.” Well, no, your son is or your daughter is.
Stop arguing with all of the adults in our kids' lives. You need to teach your kids to stand for themselves.
Stop doing your kids' homework.
Teach them to cross the street, make a meal, and remember to put their own items in their backpacks, which becomes a briefcase one day. When kids have all the skills to take care of themselves, they will be prepared for adulthood.
A. The following are some ways to stop over-protecting your children.
B. She also explains why parents should stop it.
C. Your kids have to do the things they can all by himself.
D. They can give their children directions at any moment from anywhere.
E. Build your kids' skills.
F. The freshmen were very smart and did well in their paper work.

A. In fact, you're just doing your job. B. So you have no choice but to trust them. C. Americans cannot get along well with Asians. D. It just doesn't work that way with Asian people. E. Americans are very different from Asian people. F. You can do anything you want but don t disrespect an Asian man. G. If you don t understand their culture, you will get some problems with them. |
There is a large percentage of Asian people in the US. They're hard-working, respectful but strange sometimes. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Asian people are different from people in any other cultures. If you think you know them, you might want to think again.
How are they different? When it comes to most Asian culture, respect is everything. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} If you don't show proper respect for him, you will get some real consequences afterward and especially if he's your boss. It's something called face saving in the Asian culture. It's ridiculous sometimes but it's their culture. Sometimes their culture can come in between their relationship at work. Asian people might expect a lot of respect from their co-workers when their co-workers just see them as an equal.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#} If you re Asian, you might want to understand the American culture and even adapt to their culture if you work with them. It will be easier for you since you re in their countries. Imagine an America working in China, expecting Chinese co-workers to get along with him when he criticizes them straight out on every single matter in front of everyone, I think they will take him outside and take care of him. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}
If you're an American boss giving your Asian employee a review, you will see that they will have a problem with your negative remarks. They will think that you don t like them, disrespectful, and want to get rid of them. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Of course, it's not fair for you as an American boss but just expect that it can be something that is on your Asian employee's mind.
