The Economic Roots of Helicopter Parenting
There has been a shift in the intensity of parenting, as measured by the time parents devote to interacting with their children. This shift has occurred in a period characterized by increasing financial inequality among our citizenry, a booming return to education, and generally higher stakes to bringing up children. As a result, parents have become increasingly worried about their children's school performance and have responded by engaging in more intensive parenting, choosing parenting styles that are conducive to children doing well in education. Hence, the rise of helicopter parents can be understood as a rational response of parents to a changed economic environment."
