A lot of high schools, colleges, and employers are concerned about the phenomena commonly referred to a “helicopter parents,” which typically are Baby Boomer and older Gen X parents who are constantly hovering over their teenage and adult children. I think that it is safe to say that most experts feel that parents who accompany their children to job interviews and even complete their work assignments for them are doing a disservice to their kids.
