Summary/Abstract: Research related to contemporary trends in children's education point to the challenges faced by today's parents and the increasingly frequent occurrence of the so-called helicopter(overprotective) parents. The teacher, as another important adult for the child, can reduce and amortize inadequate parental influences, where the prerequisites for successful action are the recognition of inadequate parenting style and adequate cooperation with parents. The aim of the quantitative empirical study carried out in the Republic of Slovenia on a sample of 334 teachers was to examine in more detail the teachers' perspective on the characteristics of helicopter parents' upbringing and cooperation with them. An independently created instrument - a survey - was used to collect data. Statistically processed data indicate the fact that most teachers meet with helicopter parents at least once a year, adequately recognize their characteristics (they solve children's problems and homework on their own, worry excessively about children's safety and often talk to teachers). The results of the study indicate that teachers find adequate ways to cooperate with helicopter parents through effective communication.
