They are so overprotective of their children that they prevent them from having the necessary weapons to face life
Being a parent is not an easy task, that manual that tells you what you should do to raise emotionally stable children does not yet exist and in the process parents often make some mistakes. Such as the so-called helicopter parents, who often ruin the future of their children.
They are the type of parents who cannot stop ‘flying over’ their children, that is, they are on top of them all the time. In short, they wrap them in bubble wrap and end up creating a generation of little ones incapable of managing their jobs or their lives.
Helicopter parents think that everything they do is for the good of their little ones, but in reality, they are destroying all their chances of being successful. To be clear, they are throwing away all chances of finding a job and being able to keep it. They do not want their children to hurt themselves, they avoid their suffering at all costs.
All the time, helicopter parents try to soften every bump in life and cushion every fall. However, the problem of this generation of infants who are overprotected have never learned to deal with defeat, failure or disappointment, aspects that always present themselves in life.
It is this overprotection that makes it impossible for these children to learn to assimilate frustration, and without developing this psychological quality, they have a great disadvantage when they have to enter the labor market. Another problem with these children is that they think that whatever they do will be rewarded, they will never realize how much effort it takes to achieve the goals.
Helicopter parents help their children too much, and in this way the little ones grow up without knowing a healthy work ethic, with significant deficiencies in basic skills. Without this, they will be unable to properly perform many of the tasks that are often required of them in a job.
On the other hand, by protecting their children too much they deprive them of knowing the importance of the consequences that their actions may have. As a result, they miss out on the opportunity to learn a multitude of valuable life lessons from their mistakes, life lessons that would help them boost their emotional intelligence.
Something that characterizes helicopter parents is that they protect their children against any small conflict that may arise with their colleagues and friends, so when they grow up they do not know how to solve the differences that will arise with them, their coworkers or bosses. .
