It's a pretty poorly written article to be honest. I don't see how the author clubs in "authoritative" parenting style under "helicopter parenting" because it is pretty much the opposite. From the article: > The most effective parents, according to the authors, are “authoritative.” They use reasoning to persuade kids to do things that are good for them. Instead of strict obedience, they emphasize adaptability, problem-solving and independence — skills that will help their offspring in future workplaces that we can’t even imagine yet. That's hardly helicoptering. That's just positive parenting that isn't completely hands-off.
