This book was released on 2018 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helicopter parents have a considerable effect on the health and wellbeing of their college student children. By trying to hold on and take control of their children’s lives, helicopter parent’s children can be negatively impacted over the course of their lives. Overinvolved parenting has been shown to be associated with lower self-efficacy in young adult children. One of the consequences of parents attempting to solve all their children’s problems, and assuming responsibility for their children’s wellbeing far into adulthood, is that children fail to develop a strong belief in their own abilities to solve problems and achieve goals. As children grow up and become young adults entering college, they try to develop autonomy from their parents but may be inadvertently prevented from doing so by their helicopter parents. This project reports on studies that have shown that higher levels of helicopter parenting are associated with more symptoms of depression and lower self-efficacy which in turn, are associated with more symptoms of depression and lower self-efficacy which in turn, are associated with lower levels of academic and social adjustment to college. To lower the effect that helicopter parents have on their college aged children, this project proposal develops a program called Parent Intervention Targeting Student Transition and Helicopter Parenting (PITSTAHP), a session for parents at the end of orientation time. The session take them through an interactive discussion about the negative effects of helicopter parenting. PITSTAHP offers conversation starters and helpful tips so that parents can effectively communicate with their college-aged children while avoiding or interrupting the helicopter parenting role.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anecdotally, college administrators report that parents are increasingly more involved in every aspect of their students' college experience. Several factors are believed to contribute to this perceived increase in parental involvement. Advances in technology make it easier for parents and students to stay in contact (Henning, 2007). The traditional-aged cohort of students, known as the Millennial generation, values their parents' opinions and describe themselves as being close to their parents (Howe & Strauss, 2000, 2003). Parents are encouraged throughout their child's K-12 years to be involved; in fact, the pervasive message is that student success is linked to extensive parent involvement. In addition, the escalating cost of higher education has contributed to the increase in parental involvement (Forbes, 2001). Popular media suggests that the parents of today's college students are overly involved in their students' lives. This cohort of parents has been dubbed "helicopter parents" because of their tendency to "hover" over every aspect of their children's lives (Carney-Hall, 2008). Going away to college is a major developmental milestone. For most college students, this is the first time that they are living separate from their parents and consequently it is the first time that they are making independent decisions. Chickering (1969) viewed the college years as a time in which students gain autonomy. Chickering and Reisser (1993) described the vector "moving through autonomy toward interdependence" as a time in which students disengage with their parents and they infer that in order to move through the vector, students must rely more on their peers and on non-parental adults. What is the impact of parental involvement on the development of autonomy? Through survey research, this correlational quantitative study examined the relationship between parental attachment, parental contact, and parental influence on the development of autonomy in first-year college students. Despite the current media attention on the negative effects of the so-called "helicopter parents", little empirical research exists that would support this claim. The studies on the impact of parent involvement on student development that do exist reveal mixed results (Kenny, 1987a; Kenny & Donaldson, 1991; Sorokou & Weissbrod, 2005).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From two leading child and adolescent mental health experts comes a guide for the parents of every college and college-bound student who want to know what’s normal mental health and behavior, what’s not, and how to intervene before it’s too late. “The title says it all...Chock full of practical tools, resources and the wisdom that comes with years of experience, The Stressed Years of their Lives is destined to become a well-thumbed handbook to help families cope with this modern age of anxiety.” — Brigid Schulte, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, author of Overwhelmed and director of the Better Life Lab at New America All parenting is in preparation for letting go. However, the paradox of parenting is that the more we learn about late adolescent development and risk, the more frightened we become for our children, and the more we want to stay involved in their lives. This becomes particularly necessary, and also particularly challenging, in mid- to late adolescence, the years just before and after students head off to college. These years coincide with the emergence of many mood disorders and other mental health issues. When family psychologist Dr. B. Janet Hibbs's own son came home from college mired in a dangerous depressive spiral, she turned to Dr. Anthony Rostain. Dr. Rostain has a secret superpower: he understands the arcane rules governing privacy and parental involvement in students’ mental health care on college campuses, the same rules that sometimes hold parents back from getting good care for their kids. Now, these two doctors have combined their expertise to corral the crucial emotional skills and lessons that every parent and student can learn for a successful launch from home to college.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Along with development, parents and children are involved in reciprocal exchanges within which both co-adapt their emerging relationships. With this transactional assumption, the eco-cultural approach stimulates researchers to study parenting from a complex perspective and to consider multiple influences shaping children’s and families’ lives. This book offers a wide, concrete eco-cultural perspective on parenting, addressing current issues such as wellbeing and emotional security, sibling relationships, vulnerable children, family-school partnerships, digital parenting, adolescence and risks, resilience in adversity, and immigration and cultural diversity. Written by researchers from all over the world, the twelve chapters in this volume testify to the strength of the plurality method for approaching parenting.

This book was released on 2024-06-28 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection is Volume II of the Research Topic The Importance of the Body-Mind Relationship in Mental Functioning and Development of Body-Focused Disorders in Adolescence. Adolescence is a critical period when the conflict between the body and mind becomes particularly pronounced due to the physical changes associated with puberty. These pubescent transformations can affect body image and the perception of self, necessitating a renegotiation of the relationship between body and mind. Failure to navigate this process successfully can lead to dissociation from the sexual body, resulting in feelings of alienation, hatred, disinvestment, and even self-destructive behaviors such as eating disorders, self-injury, and suicide.
Download or read book Conceptualization Measurement and Effects of Helicopter Parenting on College Students from the Millennial Generation written by BaoChun Z. Hind and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The social phenomenon of helicopter parenting (HP) has been rapidly growing. Although HP is generally characterized as overly involved parents who "hover" over their college student children (Cline & Fay, 1990), and some research efforts have been made in recent years on understanding the construct of HP, an essential weakness of the majority of these studies is the inadequate conceptualization of HP, both theoretically and operationally. The aim of the current study was to develop a new scale to measure the construct of helicopter parent controlling (HPC), and three questions were used to guide this study: (1) What are the underlying dimensions of the construct of HPC? (2) What is the relationship between HPC practices and college students' perceived stress? (3) How do the effects of HPC practices on college students' perceived stress differ when accounting for parental acceptance/warmth (AW)? The study was cross-sectional survey research and the survey data were collected through self-reported online questionnaires. The two samples included 755 and 551 college students respectively from the Millennial generation (18 ≤ 33 years) who were enrolled in fall 2015. The convenient sampling approach was used in which all the data were collected at a large, public institution in the Midwest region of the United States. The instruments included the following: Helicopter Parenting Scale, Helicopter Parenting and Autonomy Supportive Behaviors, Helicopter Parenting Instrument, Overparenting, Helicopter Parent Controlling Scale, Child Report of Parent Behavior Inventory, and Perceived Stress Scale. Using Mplus (7.4, Muthén & Muthén, 1998-2015), findings from both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed the multidimensional nature of the HPC construct. Although the three-factor model had no cross loadings in the exploratory factor analyses, both three-factor and four-factor solutions had good model fitting and reliability, and both were interpretable. Using the three-factor solution, the HPC construct consisted of three dimensions: Precautionary Actions, Problem Solving, and Physical Concerns; while using the four-factor solution, the additional dimension was Whereabouts Concerns. Consistent with the HP literature, findings from the structural equation modeling analyses in Sample Two revealed positive, predictive relationships between Precautionary Actions and Stress, and between Problem Solving and Stress. When the factor of AW was added to the tested models, Precautionary Actions no longer predicted Stress, and Problem Solving became a stronger predictor of Stress. Further, AW served as a moderator on the link between Problem Solving and Stress. The multidimensionality of the HPC construct indicated that helicopter parents not only "hovered" over their college-going children when issues or problems occurred, but these parents also intervened in their children's lives in a broad way. To many Millennial college students, their parents' controlling behaviors were not welcomed, and were perceived as intrusive. Despite helicopter parents' controlling, their AW continued to play a vital role during the child's college experience. For caring and supportive helicopter parents, college students no longer perceived parents' solving problems on their behalf as negative. Limitations of the study, recommendations for future research, and implications for counseling and counselor education were also discussed.

Download or read book NurtureShock written by Po Bronson and published by Twelve. This book was released on 2009-09-03 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world of modern, involved, caring parents, why are so many kids aggressive and cruel? Where is intelligence hidden in the brain, and why does that matter? Why do cross-racial friendships decrease in schools that are more integrated? If 98% of kids think lying is morally wrong, then why do 98% of kids lie? What's the single most important thing that helps infants learn language? NurtureShock is a groundbreaking collaboration between award-winning science journalists Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman. They argue that when it comes to children, we've mistaken good intentions for good ideas. With impeccable storytelling and razor-sharp analysis, they demonstrate that many of modern society's strategies for nurturing children are in fact backfiring--because key twists in the science have been overlooked. Nothing like a parenting manual, the authors' work is an insightful exploration of themes and issues that transcend children's (and adults') lives.

Download or read book Life Variables of College Students who Report Helicopter Parenting written by and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging adulthood is a time when young people around 18 to 25 years old try out different experiences and work their way toward commitments in love and work (Arnett, 2006). Many emerging adults are in college and are expected by society to become independent from their parents by the time they graduate. Parents who remain high on warmth and support but high on control and low on granting autonomy inconsistent with the age of the child are considered helicopter parents (Padilla-Walker & Nelson, 2012). The current study examined the association between helicopter parenting, aggression, entitlement, materialism, and substance use of four hundred college students (108 males) through an online survey. The results suggest students who perceived higher levels of helicopter parents self-reported being more aggressive, entitled, and materialistic than students who perceived lower levels of helicopter parenting. Furthermore, males who did not use cannabis perceived significantly higher levels of helicopter parenting than male cannabis users. Consistent with previous research, males in the current study self-reported more physical and verbal aggression, as well as consuming alcohol and using cannabis more. Future research is needed to examine the effects of helicopter parenting on overall alcohol and cannabis use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helicopter parenting is a unique form of parenting style that is generally described as highly intensive and highly involved with the children. A particular parenting style influences all phases of development and life style of adolescent. Helicopter parents overly protect their children from the difficulties by setting some set of instructions without consideration of the uniqueness of their children. Recent literature has got huge attention on this parenting style and debating the pros and cons on the development of child. Higher life satisfaction and better psychological wellbeing have been found in the children of highly intrusive parents. When there are positive effects of helicopter parenting, there are negative outcome and impacts that have also been studied. The difficulties in emotional regulation, academic productivity, and social skills among children raised by helicopter parenting have been reported in the literature. Low self-efficacy, lack of trust on peers, and alienation from peers have also been associated with helicopter parenting. The chapter highlights the associated aspects of childhood and adolescence, raised by helicopter parenting. As parents have their own concern about raising their children in certain manner, it is important to understand the underlying mechanism of parenting style. Therefore, this chapter also describes the theoretical framework. The associated mental health issues and supportive psychological intervention to be also discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Case-based intervention strategies for mental health professionals working with college and university students. Young adults enter college with many challenges—complicated family dynamics, identity issues, and extreme pressure to succeed, among others. Students may also have mental health difficulties, ranging from adjustment disorders to mood disorders, and growing numbers of them are seeking help on campus. But these students are also resilient and eager to learn, stepping onto campus with hope for a new and better phase of life. Doris Iarovici, a psychiatrist at Duke University Counseling and Psychological Services, sees in college and university mental health services an opportunity for mental health professionals to bring about positive change with young people during a crucial period of their development. Dr. Iarovici describes the current college mental health crisis and narrates how college mental health services have evolved along with changes in student populations. She discusses students’ lifestyle problems and psychiatric concerns, using case vignettes to explore a variety of interventions. Included are discussions of substance abuse, relationship difficulties, eating disorders, depression and anxiety, and culture clashes. Problems uniquely addressed in this book include sleep disturbances and perfectionism. An essential component of the volume is a guide to making emergency assessments, from risk classification and hospitalization to public safety and communication within and outside the campus community.
Download or read book Examining the Parent Young Adult Relationship During the Transition to College The Impact of Mismatched Expectations About Autonomy on College Student Adjustment written by DenYelle C. Baete Kenyon and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study examined individuation and expectations for autonomous behavior (EAB) with incoming college freshmen and their parents. To test the theory that greater mismatch between young adults and their parents about EAB would be associated with more negative adjustment to college, Collins' (1990) Expectancy-Violation Model was applied. Data were initially collected with online questionnaires from incoming college freshmen and one of their parents before the transition to college. Follow-up data (W2) were collected three months later to assess adjustment to college. Individuation was measured with the Late Adolescence Individuation Questionnaire; EAB and reports of actual autonomous behavior were assessed with a measure based on the Psychological Separation Inventory. College student adjustment was measured with indicators of psychological well-being (i.e., psychosomatic symptoms, depressive symptoms, positive affect) and adaptation to college (i.e., college self-efficacy, satisfaction with college, and anticipated fall college grades). Open-ended data were collected from young adults and their parents describing topics of autonomy behavior where they perceived disagreement. A MANOVA indicated that there were significant differences between the four individuation groups (a) individuated (high connectedness and high separateness), (b) pseudoautonomous (low connectedness and high separateness), (c) dependent (high connectedness and low separateness), and (d) ambiguous (low connectedness and low separateness) on the young adults' adjustment to college. Post-hoc planned comparisons revealed that college students in the"individuated"group were consistently better off than those in the"ambiguous"group. Some support was found for the hypothesis that a higher discrepancy (a) between parent and young adult EAB and (b) between young adults' reports of expected versus actual autonomous behaviors was associated with lower W2 young adult well-being. Quality of parent-young adult communication was found to moderate some of these associations. Qualitative data somewhat supported the quantitative results, as well as illustrated unique areas for disagreement on EAB. Jointly, these quantitative and qualitative findings suggest that young adults' level of individuation from parents and a mismatch between parents' and young adults' perceptions of future autonomous behavior may impact college students' psychological well-being during the transition to college.
