FAQ

Which parenting style in America is the most preferred?

Because families are changing, the traditional family model isn't as popular as it was fifty years ago. The role of parents in raising children has become less important. They are looking to spend more time with themselves than their children. Helicopter parenting is a term that describes this type of parenting. This is where parents hover over their children 24 hours a day. They are there to supervise them at all costs. They ensure they eat right, exercise, sleep at night, etc. This kind of parenting can create a lot of stress both for the kids and their parents. Kids feel like they're missing out on childhood experiences, while parents feel guilty if they aren't around all day long.

This parenting style doesn't teach children how to take good care of themselves. They learn to depend on others for everything. Instead of teaching independence parents are teaching dependence. Children learn to depend on adults for their success. If they fail they will blame themselves.

This can lead to children feeling worthless and inadequate. They feel they are failing because they haven't lived up to their potential. In addition, they don't have self-confidence as they weren't taught to cope with failure.

Another reason this parenting style isn't as popular is the decrease in two-parent households. Parents who work from home can find it difficult to be available for their children if both of them are working. Many parents have to raise their kids by themselves.

Nowadays, parents want their kids to be happy and healthy. Parents don't want their children to be stressed about getting enough sleep, eating right, and exercising. They want to be able to concentrate on their lives. That's why they hire nannies, tutors, and other caregivers to watch after their kids.

They don’t want any control over their child’s lives. They don’t want them to make mistakes and think they can do it all the time. They want them to learn from their mistakes and try again.
