Helicopter Parents

Helicopter Parents are really just Paranoid Parents who think that obsessive worrying is the same as good parenting skills. But worry is addictive, and overprotective and controlling helicopter parents create unnecessary stress for children, spouses, teachers, coaches, and themselves.

The way to transform destructive and stressful helicopter parenting practices into positive parenting involvement is to replace fear with facts, and change overprotectiveness into supportive and upbeat interaction.

It’s time for helicopter parents to take pressure off themselves and start having fun with their kids again!
