Helicopter parent
The paragraph you added to helicopter parent was removed. It needs to be worded attributing the opinions as they were in Wikipedia's voice. Other areas of the article contain attribution of opinions. If you would like further assistance, I would recommend asking at the wp:teahouse. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 06:20, 31 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Helicopter parenting is not good for children and it is a result of selfish parents filling a void or trying not to feel guilty. This parenting style can cause behavioral problems in the child as well as depression and anxiety (Florida State University). Younger children who experience a helicopter parent have a hard time in school socially from acting like a toddler at school age (Loftis). While older children have a hard time succeeding in college due to their parent not telling them how to do everything or doing it for them, since this has been done their whole lives. Adults who had a helicopter parent report having a lower satisfaction of life than those who did not (Shiffrin). Given this information helicopter parenting is a parenting style that should be depleted.
