In "Helicopter Parents: Stop Hovering!" Diether H. Haenicke argues that parents who care for their children do not help them; on the other hand, they are more likely to affect them negatively. Haenicke points out that some parents attended college classes and took notes for their children if they were sick. He also states that parents would also go with their children to a job interview. According to Haenicke, most companies will never hire a person who goes to a job interview with their parents. According to Haenicke, some students have low self-esteem because they rely less and less on their own abilities as they have learned to depend on their parents. Extreme dependency denies them the opportunity to learn through experience, which is the best teacher. All these factors play an important role in the development of some mental problems by these students. It is therefore the most important time when college students should be left to lead their own lives and experience life in its totality. Children are unable to make decisions regarding their future because their parents loom large and interfere in their lives. Such interference is what has led to the emergence of “helicopter parents” in our society. These parents go to their children's schools and discuss with teachers and coaches about their education or the difficulties their children face. In the article “The Hazards of Helicopter Parenting,” M. Sue Bergin explains how Andra Warner as a parent began to hang in the balance after having her second child. She started all this slowly, doing what she thought was necessary for her daughter, but she realized sooner or later that she was doing things she had never done for her son. Andra Warner f...... middle of paper...... are missing out on the opportunity to gain more knowledge from their teachers who are more educated than their parents. In conclusion, parents who hover over their children and do not give them space to breathe and lead a more independent life are harming their children by thinking that they are helping them. These parents could, in every sense of the word, create new, long-lasting problems for their children, which could potentially be passed on to their grandchildren. Children must learn to interact and engage in college and beyond, while parents should stop procrastinating and give their children space to experience life. In fact, it is said that love and independence are what every child needs to succeed in life, too much or too little of both and no child thrives. Therefore, parents should stop meddling in their children's affairs and allow them to learn through experience.
