How lucky a child is if he is grown by helicopter parents? No doubt there are a few disadvantages. They might look innocent and this parenting style can be considered better than any other style of upbringing kids.

However, one of the major minuses is that children become less independent and not ready enough to cope with problems or face challenges.

1. Providing protection

Helicopter moms and dads keep hovering over their kids watching from above what’s going on and whether there is something that might harm them. Once they see the danger is approaching, they save their children before anything happens. Such parents stay protective even when kids are no longer babies.

2. Decision making

Helicopter parents make decisions for their children. This is done by all moms and dads when the child is too young and needs it. The bad thing is that neither mom nor dad cannot stop doing this even when their children grow up and do not want any assistance. Helicopter parents tend to interfere when not asked. This might be rather frustrating.
