Helicopter parenting usually gets bad press, and for good reason. Such over-parenting aims to protect the child from disappointment or any suffering, and give them every opportunity to succeed in life. But it often backfires.
Over-involved parents are likely to be controlling, and by taking away decision-making from their child, they will often delay or prevent the development of responsibility and autonomy.
A child with a helicopter parent never has to take responsibility for anything, since their parent always does. This can hinder critical life skills and emotional growth.
