50. Helicopter Parents

About this episode

In the past 25 years we have witnessed the rise of a new parenting style commonly referred to as “helicopter parenting”. These overprotective and over-involved parents intervene to protect their children from experiencing natural consequences and in turn impede autonomy. Kelly and Roger explore the rise of this cultural phenomenon and its impact on mental health. 


If you are in a crisis or think you have an emergency, call your doctor or 911. If you're considering suicide, call 1-800-273-TALK to speak with a skilled trained counselor.
