Helicopter parenting goes further than just abusive/forceful/or strict parenting. If you are failing a class at school, a helicopter parent will do your homework for you to make you "appear" successful. They protect their kids from failure, make their bed for them, make them feel helpless - like they can't do anything on their own. These kids never get a chance to learn anything on their own, and develop resilience or self-confidence. They're helpless as adults, incapable of doing anything on their own because they've been pampered their whole lives.
