a style of parenting in which an overprotective mother or father discourages a child's independence by being too involved in the child's life - and when they can't do it person, they do it by way of texting.
texticopter parenting: texting your teen at school to see if they've signed up for a class, conferenced with a teacher, remembered to pack warm enough undergarments for after school sports, etc.
