Is helicopter parenting starting to go out of style?

Is helicopter parenting starting to go out of style? A new Viacom global study found that 75% of parents of two-five-year-olds believe children should be learning through their own experiences. Researchers say the slight shift in parenting style is “slightly away from a more sheltered style of parenting to an ideology wherein parents prepare preschoolers for life in an uncertain world.” Meanwhile, the arguments for free-range parenting continue, and as we once suggested, Millennials may raise children who are given the illusion of freedom, while their parents have the comfort of constantly monitoring their well-being via technology. (Kidscreen)
