Children of helicopter parents are more likely to feel depressed and less satisfied with their lives [3]
Hello,
I know this is only a proposal, but you still need to have a clear thesis and 2-3 main ideas that you will use to back up your thesis. This should be in the first paragraph, or, in this case, a few sentences in. You want the reader to know exactly what you are arguing.
You also need to make the rebuttals clearer. A rebuttal is bringing in an argument FOR helicopter parenting and how it will help the child, and THEN rebutting it to back up your argument.
Also, I would work on organization. You should explain what helicopter parenting is and how it developed in the first paragraph. Then you would have at least one paragraph per main point and per rebuttal. Make sure you have sufficient evidence to back up your points.
IN the case of the rebuttal, have evidence both for and against your argument. Bringing validity to the counter argument and then thoroughly debunking it makes your argument stronger. A lot stronger.
Be careful with word choice:
During the younger years, this is definitely a needednecessary characteristic for parents, however, if this style of authority reveals to be a security clutch for the guardianthis style of authority is often a security clutch for the gaurdian , itand can causemajorhave negative effects on the child's adolescent and adult years.
Lastly, your paragraph about how this started as a way to make up for being absent seems like you are overgeneralizing. I know many stay at home moms (who were raised by stay at home moms) who are helicopter moms. and many dads who are helicopter dads. Do you have evidence to support the claims you make in this paragraph? If not I would revise it to something that you can back up.
