Overprotecting your child causes anxiety and stress in adulthood

from The Pat Kenny Show

Most parents overprotect for the best of reasons. The world feels more dangerous than ever. We want our children to be happy, confident, unhurt. So we step in early. We smooth the road. We solve the problems. We shield them from disappointment, discomfort, and failure but it comes at a psychological cost. All to discuss with Steph Regan, Clinical Psychotherapist, and host of the Tough Love Podcast.
