[quote=Anonymous]OP, the term "helicopter parent" implies a parent who hovers in her helicopter over the child happily playing at the park, ready to intervene even when the child doesn't need any help. If your child DOES need the help, then that is the appropriate use of the helicopter. It will be a delicate dance, though -- helping your child learn the skills to solve whatever problems on his own. As long as the therapies and interventions and manipulations you are doing are furthering that cause of eventual independence, I think you can helicopter away. [/quote]
