''Helicopter parenting' linked to behavioural problems in children, finds research

"The study suggests that being too controlling could actually do more harm than good."

"Researchers at the University of Minnesota said so-called “helicopter parenting” could negatively impact a child’s emotional wellbeing, leaving them less able to control their impulses and cope in social situations."

"Instead, they suggest that children who learn to handle challenging situations without the interference of parents will have more success later in life."
