This is the age where different types of
parenting styles exist and parents are
categorized under these types. They have often
tagged as snowplows or helicopters or lawnmower
parents. But have you ever wondered how these
different parenting styles similar or different
to each other? Though there are some apparent
similarities between snowplow and helicopter
painting, they have many differences as well As
stated by Day Care Chino CA, caregivers, snowplow
and helicopter parenting styles are very similar
to each other as both types will do just about
anything to make sure their children don't face
any obstacles on their way to a successful life.
But both parenting styles get a bad reputation
because of their dominating parenting style which
controls every aspect of their childrens life.

Common Factors Between the two Different
Parenting Styles

• They try to micromanage
• These sets of parents always try to
  micromanage their children's life. They are
  always right over the shoulder of their children
  making sure whatever they are doing is right and
  healthy for them. Most of the time, when these
  children grow up they face a lot of struggle to
  cope up with the challenges of life.
• Both kids depend a lot on their parents
• One of the major drawbacks of these kinds of
  parenting is it affects kids in a great way. As
  these parents think to be overprotective about
  the little ones is beneficial for them, but this
  attitude takes away all the opportunities when
  children can develop their life skills. They are
  less likely to try new things because they feel
  always scared of the consequence.

Both want the best for their kids No doubt these
parents also want the best for their children and
they can go to any extent to ensure a successful
life for their children. But in doing so, parents
may hurt others. For example, they may force the
Child Care Chino, CA teacher to select their kids
for the lead roles in the annual function or
never think twice before bribing people to ensure
a seat in popular institutions. Some
differences between snowplow and helicopter
painting Snow plowers are richUnlike
helicopter parents, snowplow parents never think
twice before spending a huge amount to fulfill
their childrens dreams. They can even bribe
others so that their children can get into a good
college or institution.

Helicopter parents hover Though both these types
of parents always hover over their children,
helicopter parents are called so because they
hover very close to their children to take full
control of their life. These are the parents who
get easily upset when their children get the
lowest score in any examination. Though too much
hovering makes kids feel suffocating at times.
Snow plowers feel entitled According to Child
Care Chino, CA teachers, snowplow parents are
always one step further than the other set of
parents as they always tend to feel entitled.
They never stop blaming others if their children
don't get the best place. They often blame
teachers and coaches for their childrens fault.
Although there are some differences between
these two types of parenting styles, the
objective of both the parents is the same and
that is to see their children successful at any
cost.
