Do you ever think that your parents are all around you and very involved in your life? Do your parents help you in every problem? If all of this is true, then you are experiencing helicopter parenting. Helicopter parents are the parents who monitor every aspect of their child's life. The term has its origins in the book “Between Parent and Adolescent” by Haim G. Ginott. It was published in 1969. It was found in this quote saying: “Mother hovers above me like a helicopter and I am sick of her noise and her hot air. I'm allowed to sneeze without explanation. The term became part of the vernacular after formal school principal Jim Fay and psychiatrist Foster W. Cline used it in their 1990 book "Parenting with Love and Logic" (Real Simple, 2014) . This term gained popularity when American college administrators began using it in the early 2000s. That's when millennials arrived at college and their parents introduced them to college. helped in all their activities. Parents would wake their children up for class and talk to their teachers to get better grades. Some parents, pointing the finger at tuition costs, said they need to protect their investment by taking care of their children (Helicopter Parent, 2014). Additionally, there are many other reasons for the rise of helicopter parents. In the past, people went through hardships. Today, parents who have experienced the old days do not want their children to experience difficult times. This makes it difficult for parents to monitor their unprepared and unhappy children. They can't help but help their children in every situation. Moreover, nowadays the increasing number of successful people and their interesting success stories attract the attention of parents. Parents believe that ...... middle of paper ...... their children should have a life. After all, parents won't always be there. They should allow their children to face problems and find a solution to them. A little support and advice is always beneficial, but prying into problems all the time is not a very smart thing to do. Parents should basically let their children make their own decision. They should also allow their children to make mistakes and then allow them to deal with their successes and failures. This will develop problem solving ability in their child. They should relax and watch their children enjoy their own lives and let them be themselves. This way, children can learn a lot and be ready for the challenges they will face later in life. I also understand that it takes patience and a strong belief in your parenting to raise a healthy child who can do their job on their own..
