Helicopter parenting refers to a style of parents who are over focused on their children.
1. For example, it can increase feelings of love and acceptance.However, helicopter parenting may be harmful to children’s development in the following ways.
Decreased confidence and selfesteem (自尊).The message the parents’ overinvolvement sends to kids is “my parents don’t trust me to do this on my own”.2.
Increased anxiety.A study from the University of Mary Washington has shown that overparenting is associated with higher levels of child anxiety and depression.
Undeveloped problemsolving skills.If parents are always there to clean up a child’s mess or prevent the problem in the first place, how does the child ever learn to deal with loss, disappointment, or failure?3.
Strengthened sense of entitlement (权利).Children who have always had their social, academic, and athletic lives adjusted by their parents to best fit their needs can become accustomed to always having their way and thus they develop a sense of entitlement.
4. Parents who always tie shoes, clear plates, and pack lunches, even after children are able to do the tasks, prevent their children from mastering these life skills themselves.
So, parents should let children struggle, allow them to be disappointed, and when failure occurs, help them to work through it.5. Remember: taking one step back from solving children’s problems will help build the independent, and selfconfident kids.
A.Weakened life skills.
B.Damaged life experiences.
C.And this distrust leads to a lack of confidence.
D.Helicopter parenting has many benefits for children.
E.Parents should also let children do tasks they are physically and mentally able to do.
F.Making your 3yearold’s bed sounds reasonable, while making your 13yearold’s bed doesn’t.
G.Studies found helicopter parenting can make children feel less able in dealing with the stresses of life on their own.
