Parents! ๐ We understand you seek to shelter your children from physical, mental, and emotional pain. You want to ensure that your kids are successful, so you might cushion the path or soften the blows of everyday life.โฃโฃ

๐๐๐, the problem with that is often times overprotective parents can have tunnel vision. Whether itโs in their quest to help a child achieve goals, or dominate decision-making on behalf of their teen, or simply believing they know whatโs best 24/7.โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
This tendency to shelter, buffer, and manipulate can effect our teens in many ways. Here are just a few examples.๐โฃโฃ
