Helicopter Parenting

Season 7, Episode 6 of 6

This important episode explores the distinction between "parenting" and "over-parenting." Experts show how the most common, well-intentioned - but damaging - mistakes parents make; and explain how "helicopter parenting" can lead to a child struggling to adjust to school and social environments; and who does not build the necessary coping mechanisms to deal with daily challenges and disappointment. Learn how to achieve a healthy balance between "helping" and "helicoptering," and parenting strategies to raise resilient and self-sufficient kids.
