The effect of overprotection on the child
▫️ Restriction of freedom and independence.
Overprotection can prevent a child from making independent decisions and learning about the world around them. This can lead to the child becoming dependent on his parents and unable to function independently in the future.
▫️ Increased level of anxiety and fear.
Parents who worry too much about their children may project their worries and fears onto them. This causes the child to be afraid and unsure of his own abilities.
▫️ Low self-esteem and self-doubt.
When parents constantly monitor and criticize their children's actions, this leads to low self-esteem and lack of self-confidence. The child may begin to believe that he cannot make the right decisions and is not able to cope with tasks independently.
