AN ANALYSIS ON PROJECT CHILDREN and HELICOPTER PARENTS

According to the perspective that takes into account family relations, the contribution of families in the upbringing of generations is undeniable. For this reason, raising healthy generations is possible (only) with healthy parental attitudes. In this study, the family's child-rearing attitudes were emphasized. It focuses on analyzing the socio-cultural and socio-demographic structures of parents as parents in the context of their self-efficacy. The sample of this research consists of the parents of 92 preschool students from private and public schools in Istanbul between the 2018-2019 academic years. The research was carried out with the permission of the Provincial Directorate of National Education and the approval of the school directorates. Personal information form prepared by the researcher, Family Life Child Raising Attitude Scale and Phenomenology Design were used in the research. In this context, a descriptive study and a scanning model were used in the research, and the findings and discussion section were summarized in tables by calculating the percentages and frequencies of the questions in the questionnaire as a result of the data obtained from the field. Data analysis was done in SPSS 23.0 package program. Additional reinforcement was provided with the phenomenology pattern that reflects all the obtained data. As a result, it is seen that mothers who are overprotective are more effective than fathers in the decisions taken for their children. Even though mothers show a high performance in terms of equality in a democratic attitude in family relations, it is observed that they impose strict discipline on their children. It is also obvious that as women, they have been denied the role of housewife in the family. It is understood that there is a communication problem between family members.
