HELICOPTER PARENTS - Stop Hovering ME!!!!

My reiteration is that parents who hover are impairing the relationship between them and their children. With all the hovering, it seems as though helicopter parents are not inclined to fall back and allow their children to transition into becoming young adults need. Give them what they need - space! "Yes, helicopter parent, your intentions are good, but that rotor of yours is causing a din," says Felix Carrol, author of "No escape from 'helicopter parents." This article mentions "children are being coddled and protected to a degree that threatens their ability later in life to strike off on their own and form healthy relationships and proper job skills." This is what I conveyed in my last article. These parents are not doing much justice for their children. I can confidentlysay that their children will most likely grow up wanting to get away and be distant from their over-bearing guardians. That way they are less likely to be pestered. After discovering possible reasons why parents hover in my previous articles, it is presumed parents really only want their children to be successful. Nonetheless, when will they take the step back to realize that it is NOT helping? In order to make the parent-to-child relationship healthy and fruitful, communication on this issue has to happen. Helicopter parents need to be open and empathize with their childrens’ emotions. If they truly want what is best for their children, they will listen, take a step back, and allow their children to do things on their own so that they can gain a first-hand experience whether it is positive or negative. Once this takes place, the child will not be as defiant or willing to press that bright red "DO NOT PRESS" button. They will not want to disappoint their parents; instead be willing to substantiate that he or she is responsible and fully capable of handling things independently. Even if this transition takes baby steps, the progress will lead to a conducive relationship between the child and parent. So hey, helicopter parents, it is okay! Let your child run, jump, fall, cry, and have some scars on their elbows and legs. It is supposed to happen, so put a bandage on the scrape, pat them on the butt, and send them on their way to do it again. Give them a chance to have one-on-one talks with their teachers without your interference. Let them learn, you can still love them and yes, they will love you back!
