When it comes to raising children, the best assistant is, of course, personal experience. But this fact does not cancel out the fact that you can learn from other people's mistakes.
Therefore, if you want to become an understanding and loving parent for your child, we suggest you find out what overprotection can lead to.
It turns out that overindulgence in parental care can cause depression in children.
This is the conclusion reached by researchers whose work was published in the Journal of Child and Family Studies.
The study involved 297 undergraduate students who were asked questions about their parents' behavior and reactions to it.
As a result, it was possible to establish that there is a connection between excessive care and a high tendency towards depression.
Other negative consequences of overprotection included a reduced level of student independence and ability to adapt to life.
