Back in early America, people raised their children with a solid Christian ethical and moral framework at home and in society. Today the opposite is true. Your children can easily become victims of this society if you are not paying attention. At the same time, you have to teach them to be independent and think independently and responsibly.
Helicopter parenting...it’s hard to know if liberals are not just trying to pry a tight middle class family apart by making fun of parents who step in to make them stop abusing children in public and social institutions. Liberals want to social engineer families so they are in the image of the worst ghetto rat to make things “equal” and to do as they will with the bodies and minds of young people and children who have been abandoned to their power.
Yes, by helicopter parenting i did not mean keeping an tabs on your kids, visibly as younger, with discernment and a strong sense of protection but such things as over protecting them so that they are too shielded from life, with no unstructured interaction with their peers or seeing how their parents interact well with strangers and unfamiliar environments, etc. and instead becoming like paranoid liberal elitist parents.
