“Pretty crazy, these helicopter parents: greedy, fearful, and always there from pregnancy to college.
How guardians make life hell for their children and the rest of the world is told in the anecdotal stories collected in the book: a hilarious real-life satire of how parents watch over children until they reach adulthood.
The book is not intended to give advice on education, nor is it a pedagogical stance against backstabbing mania, but rather a relentless front-line message about family life. Children, midwives, educators, teachers, coaches, professors, lawyers, doctors and academic advisors are finally coming forward with their experiences with overmotivated parents. Silly, grotesque stories - and unfortunately true."
