“Snowplow(扫雪机) parenting” is the newest parenting style that can include parents booking their adult
children haircuts, calling their college kids to wake them up so that they don’t sleep through a test, and even
calling their kids’ employers.
“‘Helicopter (直升机) parenting’ means monitoring their kids’ every activity,which is out of date.” Claire Cain
Miller and Jonah Engel Bromwich wrote in The New York Times. “Some rich mothers and fathers now are more like
snowplows: clearing any problems in their children’s path to success so that they don’t have to meet failure or lose
opportunities.”
There is a mother who started a charity in her son’s name to try to raise his chances of being accepted to the
college. Another parents spent years helping their daughter avoid foods with sauce, which she didn’t like. Once

A survey says that three-quarters of parents of children between the ages of 18 and 28 ask for doctor visits or
haircuts for their children, and 11% say they would call their kids’ bosses whether their children are having an
issue at work.
