Abstract


Helicopter parenting makes the millennial generation have a low level of independence. The purpose of this study is to describe the perception of helicopter parenting accepted by individuals belonging to the millennial generation in emerging adulthood. Respondents were selected using the helicopter parenting instrument (HPI) scale with hypothetical normalization. Respondents as many as five individuals were then selected with a total score above 56. This study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. The results of the study show that the millennial generation's perception of helicopter parenting is a parenting pattern that is accepted as normal and reasonable, is the best parenting pattern and tries to accept it even though it experiences a little pressure due to the parenting received. The positive impact of helicopter parenting is the fulfillment of developmental tasks in emerging adulthood, including the decision to build a more intimate relationship, improvement in education and career, and the attachment between parents and children. The negative impact of the parenting style that is accepted is the lack of independence such as continuing to depend on parents, always needing others, not having a picture of the future and and lack of independence in personal financial arrangements. This study implies that children are able to communicate well the negative feelings they feel without trying to ignore the obedience factor to their parents.
