Are you a "helicoptor parent"?
I was quoted today in this SheKnows.com article How Not To Be A Helicopter Parent
Here's my two cents...Talk them through things. Instead of taking the fix-it route, teach your kids how to address problems themselves, says therapist Julie Hanks, LCSW. Coach your child through peer relationship problems or academic problems instead of swooping in and solving it for your child. Allow your child to experience a full range of emotions. Too often parents try to shield their child from painful emotions, says Hanks.
