    The flip side of this are the parents that don't help their kids at all and just leave their kids in a vacuum to basically figure everything out alone or treat them like theyre bad when they ask for help. I honestly think without complete examples and emotional intelligence some people take this way too far. Helicopter parenting is just an over correction from latchkey kids who had neglectful parents.

      Well said, AS.
      I endured a profoundly abusive mother and an emotionally-distant father who hid from her. I was taught absolutely nothing about puberty; next to nothing about hygiene or nutrition or balancing a checkbook, etc.
      I was prohibited from dating and no skills were developed how to date safely; no skills taught how to dress appropriately, etc.
      Many, many other deficits, including not receiving surgery I needed for more than two years. We had the insurance and means-it was spiteful negligence on her part. As a fifteen year old, I couldn’t seek care for myself.
      It has been a struggle far into adulthood to gain adequate life skills and move forward.
      We ALL deserve basic education about life-and an opportunity to proceed forward! By investing in ourselves and those around us, we lift up all of society.

      @@ErutaniaRosethe problem is a lot of parents were not taught those things either. They had (for just a part of them, mot all) to figure things out later on in life. And they naturally do not think that they should teach their kids those things. That is how the cycle continues. Those who realize they have to teach their kids do that and the results are different. They then break the cycle.
      To add to that, you have parents who are so busy breaking their back at work, 6 days a week that they always come back home very tired, not even able to spare time to help their children with schoolwork. So you get that, teaching life skills will not even come to their mind.

    This is exactly how my mom raised me. If I asked her how to spell a word, she’d tell me to look it up in the dictionary. When I was 13 she handed me the grocery list and her checkbook and told me I couldn’t go over a certain amount. She walked beside me in the store as I did the math in my head and prioritized food items. Her goal was to help me become an effective problem solver. My aunt did the exact opposite with my older cousin. She gave him everything and for the past 8 years he’s been in and out of homelessness. When he loses a job, it’s always the employers fault. I let him stay with me rent free for more than a year and when I finally said you have to leave, he tells me that I’m too blame for his situation. Everyday I thank God for my mother. RIP mommy ❤

    I agree with it all, BUT: measuring the outcome by the professions these kids will have later in life? Come-on! Is the children's happiness not important? their sense of empathie, their role in communities? A hair dresser, car mechanic, teacher, can be successful, too. I want to also add: parents need to: model the behavior they want to see in their kids. If they only give orders it won't work: TALK together, get away from the screens, pick up toys together, clean the bathroom together, read together.: model reading, and your child will read, model volunteering, and your child will know what that is, model showing responsibility and empathy and your child will show this as well.

I think that’s a pipe dream and we set up kids for failure putting unrealistic standards in their heads. Focusing on something they’re good at, and they excel at it and do well, where they can at least live independently, I think that’s a good sign of success.

Those ladies can absolutely fit the stereotype of “worldly success” but it doesn’t translate to being morally good and genuinely happy people. I personally could care less whether my children become CEOs, especially when we know you have to leave a few “dead bodies” behind to make it to C-suites. It’s not all it’s cracked up to be. The happiest and most fulfilled people I have met didn’t have a CEO status or $$$$ in their accounts.

    I work with children with ASD and I think the same thing applies. I always tell parents and staff to meet the child at their current ability/skill level - in short, this means giving them just enough support to create the illusion that they are figuring it out themselves. Then we systematically change the support to reduce dependence on help.

    Helicopter parenting is terrible, I agree. But guidance is not. Kids need structure and discipline. Leaving kids to figure everything out on their own doesn’t necessarily help them either. There needs to be a perfect balance between the two. If you see they’re struggling to figure something out, it’s okay to step in and help them, because in real life, you’re not going to be able to figure everything out on your own and may need to rely on your community for help sometimes.

    I am of the latchkey generation....my parents didn't help with much, we were expected to do on our own and allowed to do many things. I never felt unloved or mistreated because of it. All of us (4 including my siblings) came from humble/poor backgrounds and are successful. I have two graduate degrees and put myself through college.
    Now.....I live in middle/upper middle class suburbia and most of the parents I know parent the exact opposite of the upbringing I had. I always feel like the "black sheep" as our kids are expected to take responsibility, work hard, and do things. We likely appear "strict" to other parents. All the other parents are just planning the next fun thing for their kid, it's all about the "feelings" and "good times", most don't even care much about school.
    What I have noticed is a lot of the kids today have helicopter parents yet they are wild behavior nightmares, don't really listen to their parents. Seems like it would be the opposite if the parent hovers, but it's because the parent is focused on fun, helping, etc. and now producing a child that functions in society. From the time my kids were in pre-school, random teachers would stop me when I was on the school campus to tell me how wonderful my kids were, respectful, and had such great behavior. It's been that way grade after grade and in multiple schools. I thought it was odd to have random teachers stop me to tell me what a delight my kids are, but realized it's because they rarely see well behaved polite kids. Are we progressing as society or regressing?

    • @ErutaniaRose
      @ErutaniaRose Год назад

      To describe my experience, I would say I am one of those kids in the upper-class (richer working class) suburbia with parents that plan the fun thing.
      I think part of it is also that the parents in order to maintain that life often overwork themselves and neglect the kids--at least emotionally--so it's harder for the kids to figure out emotional intelligence, especially if they have any neurodivergence which makes society and socializing so much more daunting and terrible to experience.
      It also results in A LOT of shame for the kids 'cause they simply do not know how to do things, and all the parents say is "It will be fine" without putting much effort in.
      Though a lot of this is from my own experience, I have certainly seen it with other peeps who grew up like me. If you ask me, suburb culture is kinda the worst--and the nuclear family module is what is ruining our society. Kids are cut off and only have their parent(s) and close family--with few other alternatives. It's isolating, and no duh kids suffer, they don't get the chance to socialize or learn relative skills as they should. (You can blame capitalism for that one too)

I feel sorry for them and not surprised to learn that so many are depressed, insecure and unable to find meaningful lives for themselves.

    There's a huge difference between 1. helping your child with something by explaining how it works or showing how it's done (when it's clearly struggeling and you offer your help or when it's asking for your help) and 2. (just) doing it for them ('cause you think your child can't do it or doesn't understand it). The first is actually helpful and supportive and the second is controlling and not believing in your child. The second is no help. It's the opposite 'cause the only thing that your child learns from that is that it's not able to do things alone. Children need to learn that they have to (/should) do things by themselves (being active and not passive in life) to reach goals and for that, they need to believe in themselfes that they're able to do things by themselfes.

    1. There is no such thing as a parenting expert. I certainly commend the success of all her daughters, but it’s odd that she seems to be taking credit.
    2. Like all parenting “expert” advice, she’s taking the extreme of something and saying “don’t do this”. Virtually no parents hover over their kids at all times and do everything for them.
    3. There are far too many variables involved in human development to point to one thing (or even a few things) and say this thing, if done right or wrong, makes a huge difference.
    4. I’d argue the number one mistake *some* parents make is abusing and neglecting their kids, not being a helicopter parent.
    Most parents just need to trust their instincts. We have a natural base ability to parent children; if we didn’t, we’d have died out as a species long ago. Like most things, the West, the US in particular, overcomplicates parenting. Every parent is different, every child is different, and you know your child better than anyone. I’m not saying that hearing ideas isn’t good, just beware of those who are claimed to be “experts” and take their parenting advice, like most anyone’s, with a large grain of salt.

    I couldn't disagree more. The number one mistake parents make is being selfish as opposed to selfless.

I'm sorry, but I don't endorse this notion.

    I have a niece and she does everything for her son. Everything. He is about to turn four and relies in her so much it's hard to watch. She doesn't see that she's setting both of them up for misery and failure.
    My childhood wasn't anywhere near perfect, but I made my own pbj sandwiches by the time I was seven, I was allowed to microwave my own hot dogs to eat when I got home from school. I was the quintessential latchkey kid. I was responsible for tidying up the living room. She's right - don't coddle your kids. I'm not a CEO, but I'm successful. I have always had the belief that I could overcome any challenge and I attribute that to my mom letting my try stuff without her interference and figure things out on my own when I was. a child.

    Hence why the current generation & beyond will be soft. Schools are just like this. For example, kids no longer take notes. The teachers do the notes & upload them to a class folder. In my state, they have lowered the diploma credits from 28 credits for a regular diploma to 22. An advanced diploma used to be 32- it’s now 24 credits. Kids these days are dumb. At least in VA they are 🙄. Sounds harsh but true. These kids can’t even write simple paragraphs. Cursive writing is a thing of the past. Before y’all come for me, I have 3 kids. Two middle and one high schooler. I had to reteach or backpedal to the fundamentals, and cover the basics. I had to teach them cursive writing, how to correctly write a sentence, form a paragraph etc. So that as working professionals, they’ll know how to format a proper email and not get embarrassed 😞

      Not true. If that were so, why do so many immigrants come here with nothing and have successful children? That’s just a lie that liberals tell people. Your zip code doesn’t determine anything. It’s all you and the choices you choose to make. You can work as smart as you want (notice I didn’t say hard) or you can just work. It’s up to you. Kids that do well can come from the poorest neighborhoods, but have the right skills in life and build a life of wealth and prosperity. This country allows us still to do that.

    • @sdoken

      @@ntmn8444 while I agree that we need to remember things are possible in this country still I want to comment on your immigrant comment: I am going to assume you’re not an immigrant yourself but I am one and I can tell you a few things: 1. There are many immigrants whose children are not that successful especially from countries that are geographically close to the US. 2. Immigrants from Overseas (Asia) are a selected group that is already educated and has many advantages over the other citizens of their home countries just by the virtue of being able to come here. Also remember that higher education in those countries is free so their parents do not have to pay back student debt the way Americans do. 3. The immigrants who raise “successful” children do so by doing everything thing they can possibly do to give their kids an advantage over other children. It helps them when liberal private schools and universities prefer children of immigrant background for diversity reasons.
      And It also does not lead to very happy childhoods. It is all about being very selfish and success or test-score-focused and helping no one but yourself. There is a reason the children of immigrants do not raise their children the same way. I agree with you that we need to remember this a country where it is possible to do well but I think the topic of immigrants is misunderstood by both those on the left and right and it is hard when few immigrant children talk about certain things. (They cannot being that they are children)
