Helicopter parents are known to be overly protective and involved in their children's lives, hovering over them and swooping in at any sign of trouble. The term was coined in 1990 and gained relevance in the college admissions process.
Helicopter parenting includes information seeking behavior, direct intervention in conflicts, and autonomy-limiting acts that hinder children from making their own mistakes and decisions.
