I don't think privacy and helicoptering is a dichotomy. Hell, the concept of privacy is actually very recent, and the default state for protohumans is no privacy (can't hide anything when everyone is in the same cave/hut)
I'm not saying kids should have no privacy, but I think privacy is overrated and the real problem is parents being overly controlling
