Hypercontrol from parents puts psychological pressure on the child. Sometimes children need freedom of choice.
If mom and dad ignore this point, then their child is unlikely to become an independent and self-confident person.
Therefore, in some cases, parental phrases such as “Decide for yourself!” and “Do as you see fit” are of great benefit.
But things shouldn't go to the point of permissiveness. Otherwise, the baby will face serious problems.
Parents who give their child complete freedom of choice make a grave mistake.
Why is complete freedom of choice dangerous for a child?
It is important to understand that in many cases it is difficult for a child to make decisions and take responsibility on their own.
In difficult life situations, the unwillingness of mom and dad to help will be perceived by the child as indifference.
A child who is forced to act on his own will experience severe stress.
Therefore, help your child if he asks for it. Or if it is clear that if he decides to solve the problem on his own, the child will make many mistakes. Or if dangerous consequences cannot be ruled out.
Moreover, complete freedom of choice for a child is dangerous because the baby may feel that everything is permissive, commit bad deeds and become uncontrollable.
Understand that the child is still too young to take on huge responsibility and act independently in absolutely all situations.
