Are you a Helicopter parent???
You must have hard this term “helicopter parenting” or “over parenting” what does it actually means?
It means Parents being so overly involved in each and every activity that the kid is doing that instead of building a closer bond with the child they end up making the child less confident and dependent on parents.
Parents hover over the children in an effort to control their lives in order to protect them from getting hurt both emotionally and physically, saving them from disappointments and even making mistakes.
Parents need to get involved, attentive parent is the best thing any child can get. Being active in a child’s life can increase the child’s confidence, build a closer bond between parent and child, and increase chances of the child being a successful adult. But where is the line that divides the actively involved parent and the overly involved parent?
It’s a parents duty to safeguard kids from dangers like teach them about harms of electricity or fire or like running on busy streets but otherwise the generic day to day activities should not be controlled. Sometimes it’s easy to overlook the benefits that mistakes and disappointment can have for children.
Each experience teaches the kid a new thing, these experiences help them in there grown up years.
Because of over parenting kids can’t finish simple day to day tasks like tying shoe laces or changing clothes or conveying their thoughts to a third person or finishing school projects. These kids sometimes even face “anxiety issues”, they lack in confidence and feel themselves incompetent or less worthy.
So set the kids free, let them learn from their own experiences... We all know child cannot learn to ride a bicycle without falling... give them the safety gears to protect them from getting hurt but don’t stop them from falling…. Because unless you fall you don’t learn to get up and stand tall.
What is your take on this? Can you relate?

Lolsss Ujjwal watta perfect picture of Helicopter parenting😁😀😀😂well yes in some case I'm kind of helicopter parent I don't allow Aazrum to go anywhere alone even when she goes next to our bldng to play with her frnds it's my or her Uncle's duty to drop n pick her up back (hardly its a matter of covering our bldng staircase) I keep watch on them from my balcony as well. If just in case I called her up alone I tell her to keep calling me from the downstairs so I can hear her😑 Her school is just annexed building but still we never let her go alone other kids go by themseleves but I'm so much afraid of any misfortune 😦the main reason is today's increasing crime rates. At some point I feel guilty coz at her age I was so confident I used to go alone in our neighbouring areas along friends we used play so many out door games which she isn't introduced yet😕 I don't know how to change myself in this particular issue n develop trust in others. Otherwise I'm happy go lucky kinda Mom😊
