What drones and anxious parents do (5)

I believe the answer is:

hover

(Other definitions for hover that I've seen before include "Remain stationary while aloft" , "Stay near" , "Remain in the air; linger" , "Float hanging in the air" , "Remain in one spot in the air" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
