Are We Helping or Are We Helicoptering?
Is "helicopter parenting" actually a definable thing? Or is it just what we call parents who are being annoying? Overparenting is something that it's easy to be judgey about in other people, and a lot harder to identify in ourselves. Parents have to help. It's what we're there for. So how do we manage without micromanaging?\nIn this episode, we discuss:\n\nThe conditions that trigger parental anxiety (probably the true cause of overattentive parenting)\n\nAllowing struggles and disappointments to be part of our kids' journeys\n\nHow to discern for yourself if you're maybe helicoptering more than helping\n\n\nHere are links to some of the resources mentioned in the episode: \n\nKate Bayless for Parents Magazine: "What Is Helicopter Parenting, And How Does It Impact Kids?"\n\n\nJulia Sch\xf8nning Vigdal\xa0and\xa0Kolbj\xf8rn Kallesten Br\xf8nnick for Frontiers in Psychology: "A Systematic Review of \u201cHelicopter Parenting\u201d and Its Relationship With Anxiety and Depression"\n\n\nOur Fresh Take with Camilo Ortiz\n\n\nWhat Fresh Hell Podcast is going on tour across the Northeast US this fall!
