Overprotective parenting style

Overprotective parenting style

The overprotective parent wants to protect their children from harm, hurt and pain, unhappiness, bad experiences and rejection, hurt feelings, failure and disappointments. overprotective parents are fearful of everything when it comes to their children and expect bad things to happen. Parents are definitely not “bad” and they may love their children very much. They are fearful their child will grow up to be destructive or uncontrollable.

This parenting style has a negative side on the children for example :s are too high or unreasonable, a child will lie to avoid getting in trouble.

• When the parent is fearful of many things, the child becomes overly scared as well. Normal, healthy risk-taking is discouraged and children grow up to be teenagers who take risks that come with a much higher price than a bruised knee or ego if things go wrong.
• Kids experience a reward/punishment system for their behavior and can grow up to be adults who are materialistic and manipulative. They don’t do the right thing just because it is the right thing to do.
• Finally, and most importantly, parents may not be able to communicate with their children as they mature. Parents have demanded compliance, not communication, which again leads to more lying.

so over protective parent are not a good character that parent should be. they should not go to extremes. They should always be in middle.
