Helicopter Parenting refers to a style of parenting where parents are overly involved in their child’s life, often hovering over them and micromanaging their activities.

These parents tend to be highly protective and may have difficulty letting their child make their own decisions or face challenges on their own. Helicopter parents may frequently intervene in their child’s academics, social life, and extracurricular activities, sometimes to the detriment of the child’s independence and autonomy.

Snowploughing Parenting also known as Bulldozer Parenting, takes Helicopter Parenting to another level by actively removing obstacles and challenges from their child’s path.

Instead of just hovering and providing support, these parents actively clear the way for their child, ensuring that they encounter minimal difficulties or setbacks. They may go to great lengths to shield their child from failure or disappointment, potentially hindering the child’s ability to develop resilience and coping skills.
