Despite of these definitional aspects, research evidence repeatedly suggests that parental overinvolvement in children's lives promotes unhealthy progress (Combs et al, 2003;Day & Padilla-Walker, 2009;Joussemet et al, 2008;Padilla-Walker & Nelson, 2012;Pomerantz et al, 2007) and is associated with poor mental health outcomes including greater depression and anxiety (Hong & Cui, 2020;Lythcott-Haims, 2015;Schiffrin et al, 2014), low levels of psychological wellbeing (Cui et al, 2019;Hong & Cui, 2020;LeMoyne & Buchanan, 2011;Reed et al, 2016;Schiffrin et al, 2014, Wieland &Kucirka, 2019, and poor problem-solving skills (Luebbe et al, 2018). Similarly, helicopter parenting has also been found to be associate with poor academic achievement, lowered general self-esteem, problematic peer relationships, and greater interpersonal reliance (Odenweller et al, 2014;Schiffrin et al, 2014;Van et al, 2015).…”
