“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.
G. Your kid is eager for more freedom, but should you give it to him?
