My aunt has been an Elementry school principle for a long time. She says it used to be lots of helicopter parents, but now it's "snow plow parents". They try to prevent anything troublesome from reaching their children.
I have 4 kids, I let them make mistakes and am pretty hands off on the day-to-day. I can hardly get along with the parents I meet at school. They have no lives outside of their children and hover 24/7, and their kids behave poorly for it.

We really push for her to be independent and be responsible for her own stuff (with a lot of success), while her classmates' parents are all around their kids all the time.
