single-word-requests

I have just finished watching the 3rd season of Lie to Me.

I am wonder whether there is a word for somebody who cares for his/her son/daughter/child too much, like Dr. Cal Lightman?

An entertaining neologism for this is helicopter mom or helicopter dad. (The implication is that the parent is "hovering" over their child at all times.)
