The biggest problems with having overprotective parents are the destruction of a child’s initiative, agency, and motivation.

Overprotective parents tend to be very directive. Do this. Don’t do that, they keep saying. They seem to me to subconsciously want their child to be dependent on them. They are the reality monitor for their children, the arbiter of all things, rather than helping their children to identify the merits and demerits of every option.

Search for "HELICOPTER PAPA" on OKADABOOKS to know how ADAOBI handled her over protective father and the result of his helicopter parenting.

Thank you.
