Overparenting
Overparenting refers to an excessive involvement and control in a child's life by parents, often leading to a lack of independence and self-reliance in the child. This parenting style is characterized by overprotective and helicopter parenting behaviors, where parents constantly monitor and manage their children's activities, decisions, and social interactions. Overparenting can result in negative consequences for both the parent and the child, including increased anxiety and stress, decreased self-esteem and confidence, and a hindered ability to develop important life skills. It is important for parents to find a balance between providing support and allowing their children to learn and grow on their own.
