Helicopter Parent

Season 1, Ep. 8

Helicopter parents are loosely defined as parents who pay excessive attention to their children’s every move and experience. They are highly involved, overprotective parents who tirelessly oversee every aspect of their children’s lives and sometimes even act on their behalf. This is one type of parent that we must avoid becoming at all costs!
