[quote=Anonymous]1) I can assure you that the term "helicopter parent" was invented by someone who doesn't have an SN kid. 2) Outside of an abuse situation, critiquing one another's parenting is way out of bounds. None of us are perfect parents, and none of us are in a position to judge the parenting of kids other than our own. 3) Yes, parenting is a delicate balance between providing the protections your child needs at earlier stages of development, and teaching them the skills they need for independence. That balance is different for every kid and different at every age. The parent may or may not have the balance perfectly right, but nobody else knows it either.[/quote]
