Being a helicopter parent is what the child don't like the kind of parenting, but Ms. Ganger emphasizes in her article that being a mom, the only thing that keeps her doing that is she don't want to miss some moments in her children's growth. Kate also clarifies why the parent is like that and what will be the consequences if you overdo in being a helicopter parent.
Candace Ganger is one of the chopper parents for their child in her both children as cited on Romper. She will never apologize to her children for being a helicopter parent. Once she was a child, only her mother raised her, and her mother puts herself through college and still worked full time to sustain our needs of my brother while her father who worked until mental breakdown and left him jobless.
There are many ways and kinds of parenting, but she chooses to be this sort of parent even others say you're sabotaging your child's ability to feel empowered. Not all times she forces herself, sometimes when her child say's to back off she would. There's no reason for her to say sorry at all for she only got one shot at raising her children, and she would do it accurately.
By the time she realizes she's pregnant she's so happy and also knew that tons of work will be present to have a baby but nothing will stop her from doing parenting because soon they'll grow up and she'll get to sleep longer as cited on Parents. She likes being a helicopter parent for her children because she wants to be part of the moments and memories for her children.
In her childhood days, she used to climb the tree in front of her father's yard for it's her favored place to hide, but once she fell in that tree and broke her arm she never climbed that tree again. She also does tell her children about the things she experienced when she was still a child so that her children would know what will be the consequences on some stuff. The things her parents didn't do makes her do it to her son like talking to them about dangerous stuff that almost all of the parents never talk it to their children. Being a helicopter has its advantage in the way that her son is not once afraid to tell things like sex, periods, boys, and bullies because her children had come to know and understand that she is always right here no matter what the situation is.
In her children's lives, Candace Ganger is the biggest cheerleader and no more other. Recalling her infantile years and how it lacked the provision of a reliable adult, she doesn't want her child to feel overlooked. She now understands her parent's struggles and how the things did not intentional for them, and she wants her kids not to feel the way she feels when growing up.
For her being a helicopter parent doesn't make her overbearing the burden, overstepping boundaries and not raising a smart, independent child. She does it to use her knowledge and residual present to assist her children to know who they are and the worth they add to this planet. For all those reasons she will never say sorry for being a helicopter mom.
