I'm pretty certain that this problem is completely self-correcting.
Because once the nation of wimps become parents, they will be unable to actually cope with their own lives, let alone have enough psychic energy left over to helicopter parent their children.
Problem solved.
Don't be silly-- OUR generation of parents will be raising our grandchildren. Far too important a job to trust it to our
kids to handle...
happily, most helicoptered children will meekly step aside and let their parents take over when they feel overwhelmed (and what new parent doesn't, right?), so all will be well in the end.
