Metaphors of Helicopter Parenting

My research subject explores and creates metaphors and visualizations of the helicopter parenting in childhood and its impact in children’s life. I want the audience to think about and debate the pros and cons of helicopter parenting and how freedom plays a role in the lives of different children. Parents need to stop pushing what worked for them onto their children, take a step back, and reconsider whether their current parenting style suits their children.
