Wave goodbye to "helicopter parents"!There's a new type of parent pushing his or her way through the schoolyard—and he or she will stop at nothing(不惜一切代價(jià)) to make sure the children's success.The "snowplow parents"will keep forcing difficulties out of their kids' paths.They pay more attention to the future success of their children,and anyone or anything that stands in the way has to be cleared.
It sounds similar to "helicopter parenting".I know,but there are some differences. "Helicopter parents"hover(盤質(zhì)) and manage details because of fear.They watch every tiny thing that enters their children's bodies,they monitor their every move,and they keep a close eye on every piece of homework.They hold their kids close to them because they're worried about the big and wide world.
"Snowplow parents" may also pay too much attention to details when it comes to diet and education,but they do so with an eye on the future.They want to clear any pain or difficulties from their children's paths so that their kids can succeed.
How do I know all?Because I may just fall into the group of"snowplow parents"myself as a mother.I will write notes to excuse them from their homework if I don't agree with the homework.I'm OK with them experiencing failure at school or not being on the school sports teams.I do make their lives a little easier—often in ways that they don't notice.
Research shows that "helicopter parenting"can do harm to kids.They are less able to get stronger from unpleasant situations and less likely to take risks.They never develop children's proper skills to make decisions on their own.Experts fear that children of"snowplow parents"will have similar problems—they won't be able to handle failure or solve problems independently.
I realize that I can't clear every difficulty from my children's paths.On especially snowy days,I still prefer to pull out the snowplow and move everything in their ways,but I'm working on it.
Maybe I will get the kids to clear the snow this week.
