Helicopter Parents Are Now Calling Grad Schools And Impersonating Their Kids | Daily Wire:

"Few studies have yet examined the effects of over-parenting as it is a relatively recent cultural phenomenon — the term "helicopter parenting" was coined only in 1990 — but early research does not portend well for helicoptered children. These studies suggest that anxiety-driven parenting tactics not only suppress children's maturity and autonomy but also constitute "parental conditional regard," in which affection is withdrawn when children do not succeed. This tactic then instills in children an aversion to criticism that impedes personal growth and poisons relationships with others."
