This article was very interesting and informative. It argues the common myths about “helicopter parents”. The general claim from different sources is helicopter parenting can lead to negative effects on children. While that might be true or just an assumption. Article tries to argue that it can’t be generalized to be true always. Author tries to give empirical evidences based on study carried out by University of Texas psychologist. This group did telephonic interview of number of children and parents with broad age range and how far they live from each other. They had various observations from this study. They indicated that helicoptering is beneficial to certain extent. It leads to more life satisfaction because of their better relationship.
