My aunt has been an Elementry school principle for a long time. She says it used to be lots of helicopter parents, but now it&#x27;s &quot;snow plow parents&quot;. They try to prevent anything troublesome from reaching their children.<p>I have 4 kids, I let them make mistakes and am pretty hands off on the day-to-day. I can hardly get along with the parents I meet at school. They have no lives outside of their children and hover 24&#x2F;7, and their kids behave poorly for it.
