I have a feeling it will be a generational thing. It's anecdotal, but I grew up with helicopter parents and have talked to many others who did as well, I've yet to hear anyone speak positively about the experience. Mostly we all got to adulthood and discovered how laughably unprepared we were for basic life tasks. The more successful ones confront it in college and move on, the less successful ones stay in college and promote "safe spaces" to prolong the coddling.
