The participants of the research consisted of randomly selected 374 girls, 301 boys; 675 students in total. In the research, helicopter parent scale and personal information form were used as the data collecting tools. Relational survey model was utilized, and the data were analyzed via t-test and ANOVA as statistical methods. At the end of the research it was found out that helicopter parental attitudes affected children's school lives. Along with that, it was stated that students' perception level towards helicopter parent attitudes varied depending on gender and class. The child's life experiences were linked to the conditions and approaches of the family. It was also determined that helicopter parent attitudes resembled each other, and that the socio-economic competence of the parents, age groups, education levels and the number of individuals in the family were some of the determining factors in the students' life and learning life.
