A recent study was conducted to observe the parental and behavioral link of helicopter parenting and establish a measure of helicopter parenting that was discernible from other types of parental controls. Participants in this study included 438 undergraduate students from four universities in the United States. Including 320 women and 118 men, and at least one of their parents. The results presented revealed that helicopter parenting had a distinct aspect of behavioral and psychological control, and was positively associated with behavioral and psychological control. Evidence also showed that helicopter parenting was positively related to parental involvement and other positive factors of the parent-child relationship, but negatively associated with parental autonomy (Padilla-Walker). "Helicopter parenting" or "pampering parenting" is the term often used in the media to describe a form of hyperparenting in which parents discourage the independence of one or more children by becoming overly involved, paying extremely little attention particular about their experiences and problems and intervening where necessary. and whenever they want (Bergin). These types of intrusive and managerial parental behaviors appear to be the result of strong parental concern for the child's well-being and success (Padilla-Walker). Although all parents want to see their children succeed, 86 percent of parents known to be overprotective are those who believe that being involved in their child's school would help them succeed ("The Problem"). Although some believe that closely monitoring their children protects them, evidence shows that over-parenting and monitoring children negatively affects their emotional state...... middle of paper ...... child , they stay nearby just in case of any emergency and real danger, but stay out of sight so that the child gets into the habit of running to his parents at every problem (Skolnik). Another way to avoid this is for the parent to keep in mind the type of adults they are trying to raise. This involves suffering for the child as well as the parent. Letting the child struggle and be disappointed when they fail and the parent guiding them through this process teaches children how to manage stress in the future (Bayless). A recent New York magazine features stories of parents who monitor their children by reviewing their homework, tests and projects. The key solution to helping their children is to figure out how to get children to tune in to their own motivation to accomplish their work, and get parents to turn away from their motivation to protect their children from failure (Griffin).
