[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP defines the term helicopter parent.  I seriously don't give a damn if my kid is mildly uncomfortable for a day.  Its a freaking day, its school,  so what.  Be bored.  Be unstimulated.  To try to orchestrate your child's life in a way to ensure that he avoids any unpleasant experiences will only ensure that your kid will turn into a kid who Can Not Deal.

Not to mention that it might be awesome.  Maybe his friend will squirt water through his nose laughing or all the kids will be shocked that their teacher entertains them with a mildly inappropriate but silly song.  Maybe they will stop and watch a deer in the road or learn something cool about mountains.  Maybe some kid will bring a giant bag of cola gummis and they'll all pretend to drink them or have contests to see who can suck on them the longest without giving in to the temptation to bite.  And then they will talk about this stuff the next day and your kid will feel mildly left out and weird because he was home on the couch wrapped in cotton wool with mommy.[/quote]
