Raising children always requires a delicate balance between protecting and letting children be independent. However, when parents are too complacent and overly Encouraging their children, children are likely to face unwanted consequences that deeply affect their psychological and life skills development. Understanding these consequences will help parents adjust their parenting style, creating a solid foundation for their children to fully mature, according to Marriage.
Decreased self-esteem and confidence
When children are not allowed to face challenges or failures on their own, they are more likely to develop low self-esteem. Children can believe that they are not capable of overcoming difficulties without the help of their parents. This causes children to lack confidence in their studies, relationships and future life.
Poor coping skills
Overly protected children often lack experience in handling stress, frustration or failure. When they encounter real difficulties, they easily feel confused, helpless or even anxious, depressed. Lack of coping skills reduces resilience and adaptability in life.
De appartenance and lack of autonomy
Parents solve all problems to help their children become dependent and unable to develop independence. Children will have difficulty making decisions on their own, lack the ability to take responsibility and easily wait for others to support them in all situations.
Increased anxiety and fear of failure
The pressure to avoid mistakes and achieve excellent results makes children easily form the fear of failure. Children can avoid new challenges, be afraid of exploring and experiencing, thereby limiting potential development.
Social skills shortage
With limited communication and social experience, children may lack the skills to resolve conflicts, work in groups, and sympathize with others. This negatively affects the ability to build and maintain healthy relationships.
Unrealistic expectations and benefits
Children are used to meeting all needs and can develop demanding attitudes, want special treatment and have expectations that are not suitable for reality. When faced with difficulties, children are easily disappointed and react inappropriately.
Unable to accept criticism or negative feedback
Parents avoiding criticism and focusing only on praise makes children sensitive to negative feedback. Children are vulnerable or react defensively when comments are constructive, slow down the learning process and improve themselves.
Skills to solve problems of slow development
Parents do everything for themselves, causing children to lack the opportunity to learn how to solve problems on their own. This underdeveloped skill makes it difficult for children to overcome challenges without help, affecting their studies, work and future relationships.
