Helicopter Parents
This posting is for parents of all ages … The allure of becoming a helicopter parent starts early in one’s parenting career.
Lessons learned in childhood, as a tween, a teen and a college student will serve your child for life. This is where lessons are learned under the protection of a family.
Allow your child to both “try and fail” and “try and succeed”.
Not everyone can be #1. Someone has to be second. It may be the person who comes in second who learns a valuable lesson that takes them to the top the next time.
If parents do all the work, they deny their children the feeling of success. Success from knowing that they did it … on their own!
Land the helicopter and take a seat in the lounge. Celebrate your child’s successes or listen to their tales of woe. Always ask them, how they plan to solve their problems.
