Stupid Helicopter Parent Tricks

[crystal_crtr]

These are the same parents that "co-sleep", "babywear", ect. They are also the parents of the child that is screaming or running or being generally horrible at the parks.

These are the same parents that are breastfeeding their 5 and 6 year olds.

I actually read on another board about mothers who were breastfeeding their children for many years. That is.... well..... gross!!!

Um, Ktulu? They ALL do that. Have you ever peaked back in about 1 minute after you leave without her seeing you? I can guarantee she is off playing and over it. It's their way of trying to control a situation. The parents that say "oh, I can't leave my baby, it needs me" are actually the one that are relying on the baby to fulfill something for them. The baby will, from that moment on, control the rest of their lives.

I dunno, I've never gone back in I keep on walking and go to work. I said it sucked, I didn't say I caved and ran back in ]
You're doing the right thing by letting her socialize. Children need to know that parents will leave, but they WILL come back. It makes them more well rounded. That is also considered "securely attatched". They have a sense of security. Kids that are never separated from their parents don't have that and become insecurely attached. If the parent were to ever leave, the child would have issues.[/QUOTE]

Oh yeah, I think her going to this baby sitter (in-home child care, small number of kids, etc.) has done wonders for her development. She is super smart and really cute. Anyway Preacher, you're facing the wrong way ;)
