Q: How can helicopter parenting affect a child’s ability to handle criticism?
I have heard stories of such parenting behavior continuing clear into college! One story I heard is of a young man who received good grades and managed to get a good job. But he quit, in tears, on the first day. His trainer criticized his effort and he was so enraged over being criticized that he walked out. Because his mother had always done his work for him, he had never received criticism in his entire life! So when he finally faced criticism for his own ability, he did not know how to deal with it. It’s a sad situation, but this type of parenting is unfortunately common.

Q: ヘリコプターペアレントはどんな風に子供の批判対応力に影響するでしょうか？
このような親の行動が大学まで続いているという話を聞いたことがあるわ！
学校の成績がよくて、いい仕事についた青年の話なんだけど、彼は初日に泣きながら会社を辞めてしまったの。彼の指導員が彼の努力を批判したら、彼は批判されたことに激怒し辞めたというのよ。彼が母親がいつも課題をやってくれていたから、彼は人生の中で批判を受けたことがなかったのね！自分の能力への批判に直面したとき、どう対処していいかわからなかったわけ。悲しい話だけれど、残念ながらこういう子育てはよくあるのよ。
