Dr. Tim Jordan takes a closer look at helicopter parents and explores the numerous factors that have driven parents to micromanage and overprotect their children for over 100 years. These include smaller family sizes, fears of abduction, the pressure to keep up with the Joneses in the race to nowhere, societal traumas (such as 9/11, wars, school shootings, COVID, and intruder drills), the overwhelming amount of conflicting parenting advice, and the influence of social media and technologies like the 360 app and Infinite Campus. Additionally, many parents today feel increasingly isolated from family and friends, further fueling their anxieties.
