Protect But Don't Overprotect

As a parent you want to protect your child and make sure they are safe, however, you do not want to become overprotective. Overprotective parents don’t allow their child to experience the normal challenges of life which may result in disappointment, failure and sadness. In addition, being overprotective can result in teenagers not experiencing the natural consequences of poor decision making which is a valuable lesson to learn. It is important to see the value in children experiencing both life’s ups and downs and appreciating the life lessons they learn in both.
