My parents were helicopter parents and I wasn't allowed near anything with an engine until I was 17. And only then, with them.
And look at me, I turned out to be a "namby pamby" man!
Not surprisingly, I'm with will that "how to be a parent" lectures are a bit tiring. Anyone who has dealt with children (and even adults) knows that every person has a different way they learn, a different way they interpret discipline and authority.
What works for some won't work for others.
I'm certain that if my parents hadn't been helicopter parents, I wouldn't be around to type this. I'm a walking accident with the coordination of an elephant and the dexterity of a spider on its back.
