submarine parents 潜水艇父母
相对于整天像直升机那样盘旋在孩子头顶、万事都要帮孩子处理的“直升机父母”，“潜艇父母”是指那些平时不露面，紧急情况时就会立即现身的父母。
他们会摆出一堆可供选择的午餐食物鼓励孩子自己装盒。如果孩子只往午餐盒里装了薯片和胡萝卜条，他就会挨饿，然后下次装午餐的时候就会多装些吃的了。
潜水艇父母一般会在车库甩卖会上购置一辆结实又舒适的婴儿推车，等到孩子开始学走路的时候，就在车库甩卖会上把那车卖了，然后让孩子自己练习走路。
Let's look at the difference between helicopter and submarine parents:
Helicopter Parents: Prepare sack lunches for their child, complete with dinosaur shaped sandwiches and lengthy notes extolling the wonder of their child's intelligence, good looks and ability to use the remote.
Submarine Parents: Lay out a variety of school lunch supplies and encourage their child to pack his own lunch. If Matt packs only chips and carrot sticks, he'll get hungry and pack a bigger lunch the next day.
Helicopter parents: Sell family heirlooms on E-Bay in order to pay for a $3, 995 Silver Cross Pram. (Canopy only an additional $225.00!) In order to get full use out of this pram, even three and four year olds are pushed through the park while munching on gourmet, flax-seed crackers.
Submarine Parents: Buy a sturdy and comfortable stroller at a garage sale for $25.00. As soon as the child starts to walk, the stroller is re-sold at a garage sale and kids get exercise by walking and running.
Helicopter Parents: Participate in all their child's homework projects. When a fifth grade teacher assigned the task of building a model of the solar system, (without using Styrofoam balls!) helicopter parents complained in mass. How could their future astronomer reconstruct the galaxy of planets without proportionately sized Styrofoam balls?
Submarine Parents: Encourage their children to look around the house for items to use. One mother donated a collection of dryer lint so her son could add glue and create mini-lint balls representing planets.
