“…In general, studies examining HP frequently focused on university student population (Casillas et al, 2021). Helicopter parents who have college‐age children commonly supervise their children's assignments, choose the courses they participate in, get in touch with college presidents, deans, and academics, negotiate on the grade with the instructors, ask for an extension for their child, and even accompany their children to job expos and interviews (Locke et al, 2016; Vinson, 2013).…”

Helicopter parenting has received much attention in the last decade. The growing literature on this phenomenon illustrates the negative consequences of helicopter parenting. The detrimental effects of helicopter parenting on emerging adults may be especially more present in collectivist cultures. Studies carried out with this population have demonstrated that mental health problems among this group are more prevalent than those of other groups. Hence, an understanding of the factors affecting mental health at this age is critical. The deleterious effects of helicopter parenting on mental health among emerging adults are well‐documented. However, there is a lack of literature investigating the mediating role of resilience between helicopter parenting and mental health issues (i.e., depression, anxiety, and stress). To bridge this gap, we collected data from 402 emerging adults (M = 21.31, SD = 2.01). Our results revealed that although helicopter parenting was a risk factor for several indicators of mental health among emerging adults, resilience mitigates the potential detrimental effect of helicopter parenting.

“…Helicopter parenting is accompanied by a series of negative consequences ( Casillas et al, 2021 ), including subjective and academic ill effects ( Schiffrin et al, 2014 ). In addition, research suggests that strong parenting beliefs do not help children engage in structured activities ( Schiffrin et al, 2015 ).…”

Attending cram school has long been a trend in ethnic Chinese culture areas, including Taiwan. Despite the fact that school reform policies have been implemented in Taiwan, cram schools have continued to prosper. Therefore, in this educational culture, how to achieve a good educational effect is also a topic worthy of discussion. However, whether students really engage in those tutoring programs provided by cram schools has seldom been studied. To address this gap, this study explored how parents’ hovering attitude toward life and coursework influences their children’s engagement in cram schools. This study targeted those students who attend English cram schools to test the correlates between two types of helicopter parenting, tutoring engagement and continued attendance at cram schools. A total of 320 questionnaires were sent out, and 300 were returned, giving an overall response rate of 93.75%. Excluding seven incomplete or invalid questionnaires, 293 valid questionnaires were received. The results of this study show that hovering behavior awareness is negatively related to cram school engagement, whereas cram school engagement is positively related to the intention to continue attending cram school. Moreover, the results imply that parents should alleviate their helicoptering behavior to enhance their children’s engagement in cram school tutoring programs.

Background: A single child is precious for every parent. There is an increasing demand for children to perform and to excel in all aspects of their lives. Due to increased unemployment and less job opportunities, tough competition to get admission in good school and college and to get respectable job put every parent under constant stress. These circumstances lead to parents starting micromanagement of their children. This micromanagement can be harmful to the mental and emotional wellbeing of the child, and is especially seen in single-child parents. Objective: This study aimed to ascertain if parents of single child show behavior of helicopter parenting as compared to patents having more than one child. Methods: This is an open-ended observational study, wherein 100 families with single child and 50 families with more than one child were interviewed based on self-explanatory questionnaire methods. Results: We noted that 83% parents showed behavior of helicopter parenting, especially those who have single child as compared to those having more than one child. Conclusion: Based on our survey, we can conclude that parents of single child showed behavior of helicopter parenting as compared to patents having more than one child because only child is precious and center of attraction in the families especially in Indian culture. However, large studies are required to reach a definitive conclusion.
