Helicopter parents

[Anonymous]

Do they still parent as such when kid is in college? What colleges/universities have you found helicopter parents?

God they're everywhere. Just look at the Adult Children. 90% of posts are helicopter parents.

What colleges to avoid ? All of them have them, don't they?

Just look at the parent fb groups for almost any college. Helicopter parents are everywhere. But that's not a reason for your child to avoid a school -- they aren't interacting with parents.

All ivies except Cornell. They are like ants at the rest - the heavily curated experiences the parents manufactured for the kids to get into the ivies shifts over to targeting IB or MBB internships

I think there are many definitions of helicopter parents, and sometimes very good reasons why they would hover.

I don't use social media, so unless you're one of my best friends, you wouldn't realize I'm a helicopter parent to my ASD/ADHD college kid. I feel no guilt or shame - quite the contrary. It's my duty to monitor from afar.

PP you replied to. Unless you've got a child with special needs yourself, shame on you for criticizing.

How is a kid supposed to learn to function independently if his or her parents never stop hovering (even from afar)?

No need to name names, and in any event, four separate accounts state he didn't have any kids, so couldn't have been a helicopter parent.

On the other hand, Mary likely was a helicopter parent. Heck, she always told Jesus he was God's gift to the world.

I really don’t know any of the parents at colleges. Only knew a handful in HS. Once the kid can make social plans for themself, parent interaction isn’t really needed anymore.
