A family therapist who is a colleague of mine has written a great blog piece on helicopter parents. Its a phenomenon that I have seen so many times with parents these days. The desire to protect our kids from difficult or uncomfortable feelings and consequences has the effect of not giving children a chance to experience these feelings, learn to face consequences and thus learn to manage their stresses. As well, there can be a subtle message that they cant handle their own lives and need someone to do it for them. Heres a great article which might be helpful: slate/articles/life/family/2014/02/motivating_teenagers_how_do_you_do_it.html?wpisrc=burger_bar
