I had to laugh when I read this article, because my adult daughter and I do frequently text each other, and she does call me almost every day (although I don't demand it!). I am quite confident that she is an independent adult who can solve her own problems...probably better than I can. Nevertheless, I still believe that being too much of a helicopter parent can ruin a parent's health as well as their daughter's, and as an educator, I do believe that our over-involvement can sometimes be to our children's detriment. Sometimes you have to let them figure it out for themselves.
