Helicopter Parenting and Indian Kids

The term ‘Helicopter’ is specially derived from our sweet homes. This is something which is not unique in our families. This is the main reason why our kids are not creative and fearless. The simple meaning of “helicopter” in this article is “Chhepu”. Now you can understand what I am trying to say.

 If a girl wants to be a model and boy wants to be the part of start-up, this is simply a last moment of their lives with their parents. And suppose the child is atheist.

“Don’t imagine the situation please.”

This is the main reason why we don’t have start-ups in India; this is the reason why porn is most popular in teenagers and adults. They can only imagine sex and masturbate coz sex before marriage is crime in Indian society. No matter this is the thing which removes most of your stress.

(Marriage is only a legal license to have sex)

If the kids of our family want to go Vaishno Devi or Vrindavan, they are the best kids and if somebody wants to go Goa, this is the crime.

No matter the kids are interested in God or not. They are forced to do RadheRadhe on Janamashtmi and Jai Bajrangbaliki on every Tuesday.

In our homes, the channels like Sab TV, Sony,etc are used to be watched and still I don’t know how Splits villa got 2-3 Millions views on YouTube after each episode.

Now these are the results of Helicopter Parenting:

• ·       The kids become dumb as they don’t allow expressing their any kind of feelings in front of anybody. (Especially Girls in India)
• ·       The ghost of failure is always in their minds.
• ·       Watching porn and masturbation is at the top after puberty.
• ·       And AIB videos became popular among kids.

Let’s explain “Helicopter Parents” with some short stories:-

Story one – Once a boy was studying in school and he was very good in sports but his father didn't allow him to pursue his interest because he thinks:

”His child has to play in hot summer days and in winter days too. Or he has to spend an extra time in school for sports.”

But he is very happy to see playing Virat Kohli and always taunts him.

“Cricketer hi ban jata”

Story two – One day the same boy from story one told his parents.

He wants to attend ten day meditation course away from home. (Now he is 21 years old)

And here is the best answer.

“Don’t you dare to go away from us for ten days? You know I am sick and sometimes I feel this is my last days and you know places like this have reptiles and many insects. They are very dangerous for you and BLAH! BLAH! BLAH!(Emotional Atayachar continues).” At the end he has to say NO.

Story three - Some days back I was at home and my aunt came in and she saw our new AC and suddenly she said I am very happy to see AC in your home. We always want “Saademunde AC vich e rehan.”

At that time many questions rises to my mind

-      What is success means to them?

-      Why they only want their kids to live in only AC?

-      Why they don’t think creative and so as their children?

Story four – Another story from my relatives. I visited to my aunt’s home last week. As usual she was busy in beating and yelling at their kids (Girl who is 13 and boy who is 5). I asked her why you yell at them every time. She said” This girl is dumb. She has a small brain, she is fat, she doesn't study, and she doesn't want to go to tuitions. What should I do?”

When I looked at my sister, I assume she needs a work out in the form of yoga or swimming, etc. I suggest her mom to do that and also got a shocking answer.

“I don’t want my baby to go outside early in the morning. She is very sensitive and childish.”

(Please don’t laugh. It’s a serious topic.)

She want good results but without effort. She doesn't want to play their kids in dust.

Again the boom of questions comes to my mind.

• -      Why our boys not allowed to drink alcohol in front of our parents
• -      Why our parents are becoming so conservative
• -      Why they are expecting money from their children and they call it success.

No matter their child is happy or not, they want money and obviously “Humara beta AC me rahe”.

Story five - One of my friends got a stone in kidney. Last week I stayed with him for two hours and I heard only one line again and again for 2 hours.

“Take your medicine on time. Have you taken your medicine?”

 And he is 24.

Story six – One of my brothers is not allowed to sleep alone because his parents think

How do we know our kid is covering his body with blanket himself or not?

(This line always makes me laugh and also my favorite character of helicopter parents)

I’ve got a millions of stories like this but seriously the helicopter parenting is the main reason why our kids are as scared. And obviously the other reason is shitty non-creative educational institutions.

(NOTE: I can’t explain “Helicopter Parents” properly otherwise I’ll become the most wanted criminal by Indian (Helicopter) Parents)
