Generally I have the appearance of an adult human male; I'm composed of about 100 trillion cells and, as with most other humans, around 90 trillion of those cells are actually bacteria.

In my own mind I view HELICOPTER PARENT syndrome as being a classic manifestation of a certain dominant Left Wing flavour of Power mixed with "good intentions". Which can all too often end up discouraging true human diversity.

Lenore Skenazy caused a storm by encouraging parents to leave their kids in parks. She was branded "America’s Worst Mom" after she wrote in the New York Post about letting her nine-year-old son ride the NY subway alone.

....and I guess there's also a strand of Helicopter Parenting that is rooted in all that drip drip drip Right Wing tabloid induced fearfulness about the world and about one another. No doubt influenced by the fact that Insecure citizens make good consumers.
