helicopter parent

Translation


Okay, the user wants me to translate "helicopter parent" into French. Let me think about the correct term.

First, "helicopter parent" is an English idiom referring to a parent who is overly involved in their child's life. I need to find the equivalent in French.

I recall that in French, the term "parent poussin" is sometimes used. "Poussin" means chick, which is similar to the English "helicopter" metaphor for hovering over the child. Alternatively, there's "parent parapluie," but I think "parent poussin" is more commonly used.

Wait, I should confirm if "parent poussin" is the standard translation. Let me check some references. Yes, several sources mention "parent poussin" as the direct translation. However, sometimes "parent parapluie" is also used, but "poussin" seems more accurate because it's a direct play on words with "helicopter" (hélicoptère) and "poussin" (chick).

So the translation should be "parent poussin." The user specified to output only the translation without explanations, so I'll just provide that.
