Some parents are so obsessed with their children
that they constantly hover around them, make
choices for their kids and smother them with
their presence. It is great to take care of your
kids and being always there for them but there is
a difference between a caring parent and a
helicopter parent.   As stated by the experts
from Montessori Pomona, CA, helicopter parents
always hover around their children. They do
things that their kids can do alone or take care
of the problems kids can solve on their own or
finish their children's chores. It means they are
the parents who try to micromanage every aspect
of their childrens lives all in the name of love
and care.

Signs of Helicopter Parenting
Overprotection - Helicopter parents face a hard
time in allowing their children to socialize with
others. Whenever their children are in any
disagreement on the playground or anywhere, they
immediately go and intervene to solve the
problem. They always try to ensure that their
children are not the victims of any miss behavior
from other children.    Always too prepared -
Helicopter parents are famous for bringing the
most baggage at any event. Always being too
prepared can zap the fun out of entertainment
events.   Not allowing children to make
decisions. These parents see their children as
another chance to fulfill their childhood dreams.
They try to project their interests, aspirations,
and desires on the shoulders of their children
and don't allow them to take any decisions.

Doing their homework - Many parents are too
involved in their childrens homework and Child
Care Pomona, CA caregivers think these helicopter
parents don't allow their children to be creative
in finishing their assignments. They tend to have
many questions about their childrens involvement
and progress in class. Treating children as an
investment - Helicopter parents often treat their
kids as a business investment and act like
executives in charge of their childrens return
on the investment. They think they are the public
relations specialists and groom their children
for auditions and expect their success in
everything. Though parents should know what
their children are up to and understand their
aptitude, attitude, and inclinations but doing
micromanagement is not healthy for childrens
healthy development.
