In this essay, the writer intends to focus on a particular but concrete and consistent nuance of parenting, defined in the literature as "hyper-parenting".

It is necessary, however, to immediately underline how becoming parents and, in turn, being children, is an experience full of contrasting and profound emotions which inevitably influence all the parties involved in an almost permanent way, and in which the perceptions, beliefs and goals that one sets in this lifelong journey guide one's behavior and profoundly influence the quality of one's relationships. During parenthood, in fact, numerous unique dynamics and situations can arise which can make it more difficult to maintain a correct emotional, psychological and relational balance, influencing one's understanding of oneself and others and, above all, one's ability to to empathize with others and respond appropriately to their needs. In this work, the concept of parenting and hyper-parenting, understood as a specific way of being a parent, will first be outlined in all its complexity and entirety. In some respects, it is in clear contrast with the skills necessary to carry out the task of competent caregivers and, at the same time, it contains various meanings and characteristics of multiple parenting styles which will then be explored in greater depth.

In questo elaborato, chi scrive, intende porre l’attenzione in una particolare ma concreta e consistente sfumatura della genitorialità, definita in letteratura come “iper-genitorialità”. Essa può essere vissuta attivamente da parte di tutti i membri coinvolti, quali figli e genitori, come un momento dalle ricadute e dalle conseguenze bipolari, ricco, cioè, di cambiamenti repentini e pieno di opportunità di ridefinizione personale. Sebbene questa trasformazione possa, in apparenza, tendere verso una riorganizzazione positiva ed appagante sia per chi la esercita, sia per chi la subisce, non si intende trascurare né sminuire le sfide, le problematicità e le ricadute quotidiane che possono emergere, sulle quali, invece, mi soffermerò maggiormente. È doveroso, però, sottolineare sin da subito come diventare genitori ed, a sua volta, essere figli, sia un’esperienza ricca di emozioni contrastanti e profonde che influenzano inevitabilmente tutte le parti coinvolte in modo quasi permanente, ed in cui le percezioni, le credenze e gli obiettivi che ci si pone in questo percorso lungo tutta una vita, guidano il proprio comportamento ed influenzino profondamente la qualità delle proprie relazioni. Durante la genitorialità, infatti, possono istaurarsi numerose dinamiche e situazioni uniche nel proprio genere che possono rendere più difficile il mantenimento di un corretto equilibrio emotivo, psicologico e relazionale, influenzando la propria comprensione di sè stessi e degli altri e, soprattutto, la propria capacità di empatizzare con il prossimo e di rispondere in modo appropriato ai sui bisogni. In questo lavoro verrà in primo luogo delineato in tutta la sua complessità ed interezza il concetto di genitorialità e di iper-genitorialità, intesa come una specifica modalità di essere genitori. Essa, per alcuni aspetti, si trova in netto contrasto con le abilità necessarie per assolvere al compito di caregivers competenti ed, al contempo, racchiude su di essa diverse accezioni e caratteristiche proprie di molteplici stili genitoriali che verranno, poi, approfonditi. Successivamente, si vuole concentrare l’attenzione sulle ripercussioni che comporta questo particolare modo di vivere e di applicare la genitorialità, che provoca numerose e tangibili conseguenze sia ai genitori sia, ed in particolare modo, ai figli. Questi ultimi, infatti, sono coloro che, tra le parti coinvolte, subiscono e risentono maggiormente degli effetti negativi di questa pratica educativa la quale, a lungo andare, può creare danni irreversibili e controproducenti per il bambino, prima, e per il futuro adulto emergente, poi. Infine si cercherà di dare al lettore alcune possibili soluzioni per poter aiutare la famiglia a correggere e superare tutte quelle peculiarità tipiche dell’iper-genitorialità che non sono funzionali per promuovere un sano sviluppo di tutte le parti coinvolte all’interno di quel nucleo familiare.
Genitori Elicottero: l’impatto dell’iper-genitorialità sullo sviluppo dei figli.

Abstract
In this essay, the writer intends to focus on a particular but concrete and consistent nuance of parenting, defined in the literature as "hyper-parenting". It can be actively experienced by all the members involved, such as children and parents, as a moment with bipolar relapses and consequences, that is, rich in sudden changes and full of opportunities for personal redefinition. Although this transformation may, apparently, tend towards a positive and satisfying reorganization both for those who exercise it and for those who undergo it, we do not intend to neglect or diminish the challenges, problems and daily repercussions that may emerge, on which, instead, I will focus more on it. It is necessary, however, to immediately underline how becoming parents and, in turn, being children, is an experience full of contrasting and profound emotions which inevitably influence all the parties involved in an almost permanent way, and in which the perceptions, beliefs and goals that one sets in this lifelong journey guide one's behavior and profoundly influence the quality of one's relationships. During parenthood, in fact, numerous unique dynamics and situations can arise which can make it more difficult to maintain a correct emotional, psychological and relational balance, influencing one's understanding of oneself and others and, above all, one's ability to to empathize with others and respond appropriately to their needs. In this work, the concept of parenting and hyper-parenting, understood as a specific way of being a parent, will first be outlined in all its complexity and entirety. In some respects, it is in clear contrast with the skills necessary to carry out the task of competent caregivers and, at the same time, it contains various meanings and characteristics of multiple parenting styles which will then be explored in greater depth. Subsequently, we want to focus attention on the repercussions that this particular way of living and applying parenting entails, which causes numerous and tangible consequences both for parents and, in particular, for children. The latter, in fact, are those who, among the parties involved, suffer and are most affected by the negative effects of this educational practice which, in the long run, can create irreversible and counterproductive damage for the child, first, and for the future emerging adult, then. Finally, we will try to give the reader some possible solutions to help the family correct and overcome all those typical peculiarities of hyper-parenting that are not functional to promote the healthy development of all the parties involved within that family unit.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
