Helicopter siblings are the sisters/brothers who are over protective about their siblings in schools or in other places.

The term came in use since they ( either parents or siblings )  hover overhead always like a helicopter.

Modern day parents are too conservative about their children . If elder child thinks his / her's sibling is not cared enough by parents , he / she may turn into a helicopter sibling.
