Helicopter parenting is not effective. To allow children to succeed with what they do, they need to learn resposibility and independence. When students aren't allowed to do their homework or school projects on their own, they will start to lack confidence in work they do themselves (Khadaroo 1). Lack of confidence makes it hard for students to succeed because they won't trust the work they do. They will always need someone to check their work. This could be detrimental when they reach higher level learning because that is more idea based and not just about repeating facts back to teachers. Students also need to talk to teachers for themselves. If they allow their parents to fight all their battles, they will never learn how to talk to other people in authority for the rest of their lives.
