The article discusses the risks of overprotecting parents, suggesting that their children may develop anxiety or depression issues if they continue to rely on their parents' emotional responses. The research suggests that 45% of parents are likely to identify themselves as overprotective, and this is often due to the limbic system, which controls behavioral and emotional responses and memory formation. Some parents inadvertently make decisions based on their emotions, rather than intention. This leads to an increase in anxiety and self-control, which can be detrimental to children's development. Clinical counselor, Dr. Michaelangelo, suggests that parents can address these issues with their own thoughts and resolve them without letting them affect their children. Suggestions for intervention include observing a child's progress, talking about challenges and asking for help if she needs it.
