[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sending kids to private school and paying for lots of activities isn’t helicopter parenting. [/quote] I agree and that's my main issue with the (original) article. Helicoptering is when a parent is overly involved in a child's life, refusing to let the child experience natural, negative consequences for his actions (i.e. complaining to a teacher to change a bad grade), inappropriately advocating on his behalf when he should be speaking up for himself, directing everything from his play time to his social interactions. [/quote] Isn't sending a kid to private school kind of the definition of directing a child's social interactions? You are limiting his peer group to a carefully curated group.[/quote]
