What are your observations of Helicopter Parents?

Asked by gkimball (35points) July 20th, 2012

Helicopter or snowplow parents in the US, “Curling Parents,” in Sweden…What do you observe about overprotective parents in various countries? I’m hearing US teachers say that when a child needs to be corrected, parents often criticize the teacher and defend the child. Or they call professors to protest a grade. What’s your observation of helicopter parents and any explanations? Thanks.
