helicopter parenting
noun [ U ] uk/ˌhel.ɪˌkɒp.tə ˈpeə.rən.tɪŋ/ us/ˌhel.ɪˌkɑːp.tɚ ˈper.ən.t̬ɪŋ/
直升机式育儿,指家长非常关心孩子的生活(像直升机一样焦虑地徘徊在孩子身边、监控他们的一举一动),尤其在教育方面,并试图过度干预
a way of taking care of a child that involves a parent being very closely involved with their child's life, especially their education, and trying to control it too much
I suppose it's about finding a happy medium, somewhere between helicopter parenting and being irresponsible. 我想关键是要找到一个恰当的管理方式,既不能是直升机式育儿的过度干预,又不能对孩子不负责任,而是在两个极端之间找到平衡点。
The study found no evidence that helicopter parenting produces better grades. In fact, students with very-involved parents had lower grades. 该研究并没有找到证据可以表明直升机式育儿可以导致更好的学习成绩。事实上,极度关注孩子的家长,其子女的学习成绩反而比较差。
