[quote=Anonymous]I call it helicopter parenting. My kids are now in high school and they are really well. They were made fun of in elementary school because they are nerdy. Since I don’t kiss up to the principal and didn’t understand how the gifted program works, my older was basically an outcast. The gifted kids didn’t include her, and the popular ones rejected her. Slowly, she found her way. Now, most of the gifted kids from elementary years are no longer gifted. So I think it is important not to be an helicopter parent and paving the way for your child. They need to find their way, and doing it for the first time in college or post college is way too late. [/quote]
