Are You A Helicopter Parent?

As parents, we always want to make sure we give our children the attention they need, but too much attention could have a negative affect.

You might be a Helicopter Parent. Dr. Cindy Gellner talks about why helicopter parenting happens, the consequences and ways to avoid being a helicopter parent.
