Helicopter parenting
It describes an overcontrolling behaviour of parents which can negatively affect children’s ability to manage their emotions and deal with the challenging demands of growing up.
A study published in the journal Developmental Psychology revealed
• Children with helicopter parents may be less able to deal with the challenging demands of growing up, especially with navigating the complex school environment
• Children who developed the ability to effectively calm themselves during distressing situations and to conduct themselves appropriately had an easier time adjusting to the increasingly difficult demands of preadolescent school environments
The researchers followed 422 children over the course of eight years and assessed them at ages two, five and 10.
