Observant parents worry employee’s leadership

Germany of course guidance centers increasingly seeing students turn up with their parents. Helicopter parent phenomenon could at least partly be due to a greater number of underage school leavers enrolling in universities.
Guidance centers are available for students at universities in Germany, to advise them on issues such as structuring studies, preparation for exams or career aspects dealing with the load. Now, parents are increasingly accompanied their children who attend the centers. This is particularly the case among freshmen.
Concerns ranged from parents whether their children have chosen the right subject to study, anxiety having to make their way in the big cities. Some also be informed about how their children have made in tests. However, such behavior is still the exception. "Most students are away from home fairly quickly," says Patrick Honaker, a spokesman for the University of Cologne.

Still, Daniel Wilhelm course guidance center Bielefeld University believes that the phenomenon of helicopter parents is on the rise. Wilhelm characterizes them as over-involved, protective and restrictive. "And they always put the blame on others, such as universities, when things do not work out as it should with their children," Wilhelm noted.
A survey conducted by Wilhelm among 2000 students at Bielefeld University in 2003 showed that only 3% to 3.5% of them really had helicopter parents. He stressed that over protectiveness and other characteristics of helicopter parents declined with the rising age of the respondents in the survey students.
Increasingly, young students are now entering the German higher education. Some federal states have introduced shorter secondary education to students graduating from schools a year earlier. This means that more students under the age of 18 are now recording. From a total of 2,217,604 students in 2010-11, only 761 are minors, compared with 3486 out of an overall 2,698,910 in 2014-15.
Underage students can not enroll or hold library cards, without the consent of their parents. Baden-Württemberg and North Rhine-Westphalia have introduced full legal capacity for minors in all matters relating to their studies. In other Lander, students under the age of 18 are required to obtain consent from their parents to deal with their own affairs in higher education.
Parents of minors must sign contracts to rent. "But parents also turn up at hostels and apartments when their children were 20 years now," says Georg Schlanzke the care of the German Student Service or DSW, adding that this trend is growing
One of the factors, over-anxiety among parents seems to be increasing pressure to perform in universities. "You must be very good student should learn in university right, and you can not afford delay," said Stephan Hertz Company Information, Berating und Therapies of Hochschulen EV or Hebe. This association was created to promote the development of information, guidance and therapy services for students by supporting communication between career guidance centers and their staff.
Daniel Wilhelm recommends students parental pressure to make it clear to their parents, who want to be independent. "Sometimes the best thing to do is to move, preferably in another city," he says.
