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.👇⁣⁣

Do you think you’re an overprotective parent? 🤔
