develop age-appropriate autonomous Behaviors (Segrin, Woszidlo, Givertz, Bauer &
Murphy, 2012). This simply means too much involvement by parents in the lives of

their children and trying to help with or control everything that happens to the
children. Helicopter parenting, over-involved parenting, indulgent parenting and
hyper parenting are also similar terms used to describe over parenting. According to

Segrin, Woszidlo, Givertz, Bauer & Murphy (2012), Helicopter parenting is most
often used about the behaviors of some parent of late adolescent or young adult

children. These kinds of parents take too much responsibility for their children’s
experiences and their success or failures. Specially this term use to the parents who
over involve in high school or college aged students tasks that they should capable

for complete alone. In agreement with Dunnewold (2007) Over-involved parenting is
being involved in a child’s life in a way that is over-controlling, over-protecting, and

over-perfecting in excess of responsible parenting. This linked to a parent’s high
levels of control over a child’s life that is developmentally inappropriate. These kind
of parents makes a habit of involve into solve their children’s problems, completing

their tasks and defending their efforts. Indulgent parenting describes a parent’s
indulgence of a child by giving a child too much of particular resources (e.g., food or
entertainment), assistance (by a parent doing too many things for their offspring) or

too much leeway (by not setting rules or giving consequences for a child’s behaviors)
(Coccia, Darling, Rehm, Cui, & Sathe, 2012). Indulgent parenting is also part of the
permissive parenting. In here parents rarely enforce any rules on children and children

act as they want and don’t have any schedule, routine or practicing of age appropriate
responsibilities. Because of the over independence children would become

irresponsible. Hyper parenting is over involvement of the parents toward the success
of children by thrown them into unlimited extracurricular activities. This causes to
make lack of space to children development and involving of the parents in their

academic and social life too. As well as the less parenting, over parenting also
negatively impact in children’s life by challenging their age appropriate autonomous.
And also, it causes to occur negative physical, psychological and social consequences

that influence to child’s personality.
