Helicopter Parents—They hover over
and then rescue their children whenever
trouble arises. They’re always
pulling their children out of jams.
Turbo-Attack Helicopter Model—
These parents, in their zeal to protect
their young, swoop down like jetpowered
AH-64 Apache attack
helicopters on any person or agency
they see as a threat to their child’s
impeccable credentials.
Drill Sergeant Parents—They feel that
the more they bark and the more they
control, the better their kids will be in
the long run.
Effective Parenting Style:
Consultant Parents—They ask their
children questions and offer choices.
Instead of telling their children what
to do, they put the burden of decision
making on their kids’ shoulders.
