Parenting styles have evolved from helicopter parenting, which allowed some freedoms but still intervened, to a more preventative approach known as lawnmower or snowplow parenting. This newer style aims to eliminate obstacles for children to protect them from experiencing adversity. While parental intentions are often good, removing opportunities for children to encounter challenges hinders their ability to learn coping mechanisms.
