I think a helicopter parent is one who 'hovers' over their DC constantly never really giving them freedom or independence. An earth parent is one who tries to live an organic life of sustainability and reduce the impact of themselves/their family on the earth so perhaps using reusable nappies and cloth wipes.

There are millions of labels for different types of parents. It's all nonsense. Just love your kid and don't be a dick to them and you'll be a successful parent.
