The Bad Side of Helicopter Parenting盤旋在附近的直升機父母?!


【摘要2020.1.22.蘋果】
There is a growing trend in modern parenting today. It’s called helicopter parenting. What is it, you ask? Basically, it means parents who are too focused on their kids. They get involved in every little detail of their children’s lives.
In other words, they are always hanging over their kids, like a helicopter. Some might see this as a good thing, but it can have some very bad effects. Helicopter parents tend to do most things for their kids. As a result, the kids don’t get a chance to make mistakes and then have little to learn from.
今日現代的育兒方式裡有一種增長的趨勢。它被稱為「直升機育兒方式」。你可能會問,這是什麼啊?這基本上就是指,父母太過於關注自己的小孩。他們參與了自己孩子生活中大大小小的事。
也就是說,他們總像直升機一樣盤旋在孩子身旁。有些人可能認為這樣不錯,但它有可能會產生一些非常負面的影響。直升機家長往往會去幫自己的孩子做大部分事情。結果導致孩子們沒機會去犯錯,然後幾乎學不到什麼。
