[quote=Anonymous]I define a helicopter parent as one who cares so much they will intervene in issues where there child clearly is at fault to prevent a just consequence. Or who will intervene to get their child preference when the kid hasn't earned preference. Or who will some day show up at their kids' job interview when the kid is an adult. Example: not helicopter parenting to politely teach your middle school aged kid how to ask a coach what they need to do in order to earn more playing time on a sports team. Helicopter parenting to go up to said coach yourself and demand the kid get more playing time without showing any additional effort/skill development.[/quote]
