Helicopter parents hover over their children,managing every aspect of their child’s life.On the contrary,submarine parents remain “hidden” coming to the surface when guidance is needed.
While helicopter parents may have the best intentions,in reality,they are raising children with few problem solving skills.Children with hovering parents never get the chance to face disappointment and build up their ability to recover from misfortune.
Think about your typical submarine.Submarines usually remain underwater.In case of a need for emergency surfacing,submarines can rise so quickly they are driven partially out of the water.Submarine parents also remain out of sight,yet able to pop up in the case of an emergency.
I admit I’m a submarine mom.My job as a parent is to have fun with my daughters while letting them explore and learn natural consequences.
My older daughter found herself acting in commercials and making more than minimum wage as a teen.To give her a sense of the real world,I insisted she spend three weeks every summer,picking strawberries and earning $3.50 on a good day.
