God will never give you more than you can handle. For instance, how many times have you heard someone say something like this? But even within more orthodox Biblical Christianity we have sometimes been guilty of attributing certain sayings to the Bible which just aren’t there. Certainly those who preach a “health and prosperity” gospel are guilty of furthering the idea of a God who only brings happiness and comfort to His children. Unfortunately that distorted view of how God treats His children has often been perpetuated by those who claim to be Christians. I think a lot of us have been misled into believing that God is a “helicopter God” – that He is constantly hovering over us to make sure that we don’t get hurt or that we don’t experience troubles in our lives.
The problem with never having to struggle is that you never experience failure and can develop an overwhelming fear of failure and disappointing others.Īt this point I know a lot of you are probably wondering what any of this has to do with our study in the book of Romans. They don’t learn to be confident in their abilities, and it can affect their self-esteem. When children aren’t given the space to struggle through things on their own, they don’t learn to problem-solve very well. In commenting on the high levels of anxiety and depression among these students Meno writes:
COPTER MOMMY FULL
Meno writes about parents who still treat their college-age children to the same full service parenting they have implemented since birth – paying bills, doing laundry, and even contacting professors about their child’s exams or insisting that a test be re-graded. This week I read an article by Indiana University psychologist Chris Meno who described how over-involved “helicopter parenting” is taking a toll on college students who are experiencing high levels of anxiety and even depression because they are unable to function independently of their parents. But just in case you aren’t, this short video does a pretty good job of showing what that term means.Īlthough helicopter parenting might seem harmless, it seems like we are seeing its impact more and more in our culture. I can’t wait to fly it myself after Christmas break when he’s back in school.Most of you are probably familiar with the term “helicopter parent”. I think the pros outweigh the cons because he is having fun with it so I would still recommend this. Once you really get the helicopter up and flying you have to bring it back down because of the battery life. He gets somewhere between 5 – 10 minutes of fly time and it takes 30 minutes to charge back up. He had one break during the first use but it was easily fixed with a little super glue. It seems to be sturdy in the body and the rotors but the legs are a little flimsy.
The take off and landing can be controlled by sonar to keep you from accidentally crashing it. This helicopter was purchased for my 15yo brother as a Christmas gift. Fed up with crash take off and landings from regular toy helicopter? Activate the patented auto-take off with just one press of the Juice Button thus avoiding ceiling and wall crashes on take off. The world’s first helicopter to feature Sonar technology and Artificial Intelligence.
