How Being Overprotective Effects Your Adolescent
Parents! 👋 We understand you seek to shelter your children from physical, mental, and emotional pain. You want to ensure that your kids are successful, so you might cushion the path or soften the blows of everyday life.
𝘉𝘜𝘛, the problem with that is often times overprotective parents can have tunnel vision. Whether it’s in their quest to help a child achieve goals, or dominate decision-making on behalf of their teen, or simply believing they know what’s best 24/7.
This tendency to shelter, buffer, and manipulate can effect our teens in many ways. Here are just a few examples.👇

→ 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧
→ 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧
→ 𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧
It’s important to remember that overprotective parents (𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴!) have good intentions. They want what’s best for their child, even if it means they have to bulldoze the way or protect them from the potentially hurtful realities of the outside world.
Do you think you’re an overprotective parent? 🤔
