Summer camp officials have also reported similar behavior from parents. Some of these parents had chosen their child's college and hired consultants to help fine-tune the application process. Their Baby Boomer parents in turn earned notoriety for practices such as calling their children each morning to wake them up for class and complaining to their professors about grades the children had received. It gained wide currency when American college administrators began using it in the early 2000s as the Millennial Generation began reaching college age. and Jim Fay coined and defined "helicopter parents" very precisely in a section on "ineffective parenting styles" in their 1990 book Parenting with Love and Logic: Teaching Children Responsibility. The term "helicopter parents" is a pejorative expression for parents that has been widely used in the media however, there has been little academic research into the phenomenon. An extension of the term, " Black Hawk parents," has been coined for those who cross the line from a mere excess of zeal to unethical behavior, such as writing their children's college admission essays. Some have reported that parents have even begun intruding on salary negotiations. As the children of "Helicopter parents" graduate and move into the job market, personnel and Human Resources departments are becoming acquainted with the phenomenon as well. Some college professors and administrators are now referring to "Lawnmower parents" to describe mothers and fathers who attempt to smooth out and mow down all obstacles, to the extent that they may even attempt to interfere at their children's workplaces, regarding salaries and promotions, after they have graduated from college and are supposedly living on their own. Parents try to resolve their child's problems, and try to stop them coming to harm by keeping them out of dangerous situations. In Scandinavia, this phenomenon is known as curling parenthood and describes parents who attempt to sweep all obstacles out of the paths of their children. and Jim Fay in their 1990 book Parenting with Love and Logic: Teaching Children Responsibility (Helicopters parents are so named because, like helicopters, they hover closely overhead, rarely out of reach, whether their children need them or not. The term was originally coined by Foster W. Helicopter parent is a colloquial, early 21st-century term for a parent who pays extremely close attention to his or her child's or children's experiences and problems, particularly at educational institutions. Helicopters are also used by the military, because they can move troops and equipment to places an airplane cannot take them. When people are injured, helicopters can carry them to hospitals faster than an ambulance on the road. Food packets, medicines and clothes are dropped from the air to people on the ground who cannot be reached by road. Helicopters are especially useful when there are floods and other disasters. The first man to fly a helicopter was a Frenchman, Paul Cornu. It was hundreds of years later (in the early 20th century) before anyone built one that could really fly. Leonardo da Vinci first thought of a helicopter flown by a man in 1490, and drew pictures of his ideas. Later flying tops were made of feathers tied to a stick. The flying top was made from bamboo and used the same method of spinning wings to fly up in the air. Since around 400 BC, the Chinese had a flying top that was used as a children's toy. Helicopters can move by tilting their rotors, which causes the rotor blades to fly in the direction the rotor is tilted. This allows them to land in places where an airplane cannot. An airplane must move forward to stay in the air, but because the helicopter's rotor blades are always moving, the helicopter can stop and hover in one spot above the ground. A helicopter flies differently from an airplane.
For that reason, helicopters are sometimes called rotary-wing aircraft.
A rotor is several small wings, called rotor blades, that spin together around a shaft. A helicopter lifts up off of the ground and moves because of its rotors. A Robinson R22 Alpha helicopter flying just a little above the groundĪ helicopter is a kind of flying machine or aircraft.
