    In recent studies, millennials have been shown to be the most overprotected generation of children to exist in our nation’s history. (LeMoyne & Buchanan., 2011, Pg. 399) In the two works “How to Land Your Kid in Therapy” by Lori Gottlieb and “Don’t Pick Up” by Terry Castle, the idea that helicopter parents will, over time, cause emotional and psychological damage to their children is thoroughly dissected. These two works set out to provide validation that unless these children can break away from their hovering guardians, they will never find themselves, nor be truly happy. I agree with both Lori Gottlieb and Terry Castle, in that helicopter parenting causes a plethora of issues as a byproduct of being overly involved and overprotective.…

I believe that a lot of these girls are looking for attention.…
