2)Only child- children being seen as material property of great value
-don't want to be seen as “emotionally distant parents”

3)Social media pressure - fear their children will fail and can’t meet these requirements so it leads them to take charge

This article highlights about the issue of helicopter parenting that has been involved in a child’s life in a way that is over controlling, overprotecting, and over perfecting in educating the adolescent. This article proves that over-parenting is related to more negative consequences, although some parents view helicopter parenting as a good thing, it can backfire and cause a child to develop low self-confidence and low self-esteem

    This article review emphasise on helicopter parenting towards adolescent, this parenting style influences all phases of development and lifestyle of adolescents. The issue of helicopter parenting that has been involved in a child’s life in a way that is over controlling, overprotecting, and over perfecting in educating the adolescent. the helicopter parenting gives the impact in their children life. Parenting style which want perfectionists often have high standards, not only for themselves but for their children

The second article “Helicopter parenting: consequences “shows the helicopter parenting is a way of being involved in a child's life that is over-controlled, over-protective and over perfecting. The article stated that the new generation of helicopter parents now are taking over parenting to the next level. Instead of hovering, these parents make sure that their kids are groomed to succeed in life. This type of excessive parenting, even though done with genuine intention, has some serious kickbacks and severe long-term consequences to the child. This article concluded that most of the parents are not aware of these helicopter parenting styles that has been influencing our child's life in a bad way

     The next article “The Effect of Helicopter Parenting” discussed about the parent who are overinvolved in their children's lives. Children with helicopter parents may be less able to deal with the challenging demands of growing up. Poor self-regulation is one of the primary effects of helicoptering parenting. Secondly, Helicopter parenting can make parents hypersensitive to the possibility of failure or threat. Helicopter parenting can affect children with social anxiety. Overprotective, controlling parents limit teens' opportunities to build essential skills that help them flourish as adults. This article conclude that helicopter parent is not a good style of parenting, these style of parenting can give adversely affect adolescents as they grow up under the care of their helicopter parenting.

    The article” Perfectionist May Be More Prone to Helicopter Parenting, Study Finds’ show that perfectionist parents may see their children's success as a reflection on them, Segrin said, they may engage in over-parenting in an effort to achieve "perfect" results. Segri looking at the link between perfectionism and over-parenting. In the first study, 302 parents of young adults were asked to rate a series of statements designed to measure their levels of engagement in over-parenting and their levels of perfectionism. In the second, the researchers surveyed 290 parent-young adult pairs. The young adults responded to statements designed to measure their perception of their parent's parenting style. The findings from both studies confirmed that perfectionism is indeed associated with helicopter parenting

 

    Parenting styles are important and influence all phases of development and lifestyle of children. This is because parents are overprotective and authoritative such that they decide the present and future steps of their children, without demonstrating and teaching their children the adequate skills so that they can be independent. From my point of view, the research showed more cons than pros which is why I am not recommending helicopter parenting for parents. In my opinion, although there are chances that helicopter parenting can be effective, it will cause a huge impact on the children’s mental health. In the article, according to Hirsch and Goldberger “helicopter parenting is a process of distinctive parents that never allow their children to make mistakes and be trapped in the cave of stress.”. This sentence clearly tells us that helicopter parenting will affect the development of the children's growth. Various countermeasures should be implemented by parents by having realistic expectations, giving personal space, creating a positive learning environment and more. Hence, the article tells us that parents play an important role in the children's daily life.

      The literature review shows that helicopter parenting is a way of interfering in the child's life. These are parents who always pay close attention to their children's activities and schoolwork, not only to protect them from pain and disappointment, but also to help them succeed. Various measures have been taken to control the effects of helicopter parenting on the child's life. For example, the studies suggest that parents should learn to be flexible and let the child do what they want to do according to their own ideas. In my opinion, this article does not provide enough evidence on how this issue worries parents in the future. Also, some parents think that this kind of parenting style is good to make their children succeed. I believe this is because there is a lack of information to deal with the issue and not realising how much this issue affects the child's life. In the article, D.H. Lawrence says, "How to start raising a child. First rule: leave it alone. Second rule: leave it alone. Third rule: leave it alone. That's the whole beginning.". This sentence clearly tells us that parents should let their children do what they want. However, it does not tell us how important gratitude and humility are in raising a child.

    Negative effects of over-parenting are well documented. Researchers have found it can lead to psychological distress, narcissism, poor adjustment, alcohol and drug use, and a host of other behavioural problems in emerging adults ages 18 to 25. So, Parents need to learn to accept their children's own goals and give them the chance to explore. Young adults need the room to go out and explore and find their own life and their own ambitions.  Perfectionists May Be More Prone to Helicopter Parenting. Besides, Anxious Parents May Also be Prone to Helicoptering and More Moms Than Dads Fall in the Over-parenting Trap. For me, helicopter parents are serious issue that all parents should avoid. However, they also need to take care about their children as long as their children need it.  As examples, 302 parents of young adults were asked to rate a series of statements designed to measure their levels of engagement in over-parenting and their levels of perfectionism and the 290 parent-young adult pairs has been survey that young adults responded to statements designed to measure their perception of their parent's parenting style. The findings from both studies confirmed that perfectionism is indeed associated with helicopter parenting. Hence, the negative effects of helicopter parenting on young adults are well-documented, but less is known about what leads some people to engage in over parenting in the first place
