[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are wrong. It depends in the individual’s racial and cultural background as well. I’m a millennial parent and I don’t see this at all but I’m also a first generation immigrant in an area with other minorities. We’re not like this.[/quote] I agree and disagree re ‘we’re not like this.’ I have family in Germany and Spain. The kids live with parents until they’re in their mid 20s, at least. While the German parenting in my family is more hands-off, the Spanish parents are very helicopter-y. My SIL is in her mid-20s and still has her parents heavily involved. I’m seeing this approach with my son, too. And I see helicoptering with other immigrant parents we’re friends with. I’m not saying intensive parenting is bad. The kids aren’t necessarily worse or better off in the end. But re family background, I also wouldn’t paint with a wide brush here.[/quote]
