[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read article in Health section of WAPO today on young adults who were raised by helicopter parents..........they just don't want to grow up and suffer from depression.[/quote] Why are some parents like this? I was not raised this way and I am not a helicopter parent. I see many who are though. It is weird.[/quote] Perhaps because of being aware of tragedies that have happened in the past (like OP remembering the rappelling tragedy), having lost many family members or friends and not believing that tragedies happen only to "someone else," or just a sense that the risks outweigh any benefit that could possibly be obtained.
