People have criticized helicopter parents for over protecting their children, failing to instill them with a sense of independence and a can-do attitude(About1). Sooner or later the children will have to be self reliable. They will eventually live on their own, providing for themselfs and maybe a family. If they always have had their parents telling them what to do and how to do it, when and where do they learn to be self reliable? One dads phone call to a proffesor left his son feeling very insecure and incapable, not empowered and supported(NBC1). A little support may be fine but this example shows that maybe parents should just back off a bit. When this happens, it allows children to feel more capable of themselves, and more able to support themselves.
