[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents who consistently do things for their child, that he/she should be doing themselves.[/quote] This. As well as intervening when they shouldn't. My mom was a helicopter parent. I can remember pretty much begging her not to intervene on things. I never learned to stand up for myself or advocate for myself as a kid and it was hard to learn to do that as an adult. Also, as a result of her helicoptering, I hid things from her. I would try out for things and not tell her because I didn't want to risk not making it and her trying to get me on the thing. Which she did when I was in 7th grade and didn't make the school play.
