Shielding them from failure robs them of opportunities to develop problem-solving skills and emotional resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-5bba04bb7f722ff1d672ab722efbc084\"><strong>How do I know if I use an overprotective parenting style?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">You might have a tendency towards being overprotective if you say yes to several of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-medium-font-size\">\n<li>Does your child\u2019s failure make you uncomfortable?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does your child\u2019s crying make you uncomfortable?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do you jump to pick up your fallen child?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do you jump to fix a situation for your child?

Letting them experience failure, make mistakes, and encounter setbacks teaches them valuable lessons in resilience, adaptability, and perseverance. Allowing children to navigate challenges independently, within reasonable limits, fosters a sense of self-reliance and confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6beda1a0096283920f9cfaa6632ceab3\" style=\"font-size:25px\">1- <strong>Setting clear boundaries and expectations<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Setting clear boundaries at home provides children with a sense of security and structure. Parents can establish boundaries by clearly communicating limits, rules, expectations, and consequences in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Explain the reasons behind them in an age-appropriate manner, instead of saying things like \u2018Because I said so\u2019 and \u2018Because I\u2019m the parent\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure you clearly articulate what to do rather than what not to do. For example, instead of saying \u2018stop running around at suppertime\u2019, try \u2018when we have supper, it is respectful to sit in your chair until your plate is done\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Consequences should also be determined in advance. This way as a parent you don\u2019t impose consequences that you can\u2019t hold (e.g., \u2018no TV for the rest of the month!\u2019) when you are in the heat of the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Natural consequences also make the biggest impact in the long run. Natural consequences are outcomes or results that naturally occur as a direct result of one&#8217;s actions or choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">For example,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-medium-font-size\">\n<li>If a child refuses to wear a coat on a cold day, the natural consequence could be that they feel cold when they go outside.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If a student doesn&#8217;t complete their homework, the natural consequence could be receiving a lower grade or having to face the teacher&#8217;s disciplinary measures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the child breaks or loses a belonging out of carelessness, the natural consequence is that they don\u2019t have that toy or belonging anymore even though it might be important.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, the most important part about boundaries and expectations is consistency. Children respect parents who are consistent because it feels fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2dc429edc8c9a20b9dd1408a764d3c7c\" style=\"font-size:25px\">2- <strong>Teach Problem-Solving Skills<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Help your child develop problem-solving skills by involving them in decision-making processes. Encourage them to brainstorm solutions to their own problems, gradually empowering them to handle challenges independently. Here are steps you can teach your child:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"uppercase\"><strong><em>Identify the Problem:<\/em> <\/strong><\/span>Encourage your child to clearly articulate the issue they&#8217;re facing. Ask open-ended questions to help them describe the problem in detail. For instance, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;What seems to be bothering you?&#8221; or &#8220;Can you explain what happened that made you upset?&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"uppercase\"><em><strong>Brainstorm Solutions:<\/strong><\/em> <\/span>Once the problem is identified, encourage your child to brainstorm potential solutions. You can say,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s think of different ways we could solve this problem. What are some things we could try?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Help them generate multiple ideas without judgment, at this point it doesn\u2019t matter if the proposed idea is silly, unrealistic, or just not very good. You can make a few suggestions (good and bad) if your child is stuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"uppercase\"><em>Evaluate Options:<\/em> <\/span><\/strong>After listing several solutions, discuss the pros and cons of each option together. Guide your child to consider the potential outcomes and consequences of each solution. This helps them develop critical thinking skills and consider different perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"uppercase\"><strong><em>Choose a Solution:<\/em> <\/strong><\/span>Encourage your child to select the most practical and effective solution from the list they&#8217;ve brainstormed. Support their decision-making process by asking questions like, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Which option do you think would work best in this situation?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">This is very important: allow them to choose what you would consider a \u2018bad\u2019 option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"uppercase\"><strong><em>Implement the Chosen Solution:<\/em> <\/strong><\/span>Assist your child in creating a plan to put the chosen solution into action. Offer guidance and resources, if necessary, but allow them to take the lead. This step empowers them to take responsibility for resolving the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em><span class=\"uppercase\">Reflect and Learn:<\/span><\/em> <\/strong>After trying out the solution, take time to reflect on the outcome. Discuss with your child what worked well and what didn&#8217;t. This reflection process helps them learn from the experience, fostering resilience and adaptability for future challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout this process, it&#8217;s essential to provide encouragement and support without taking over the problem-solving process entirely. Tailor your guidance based on your child&#8217;s age and developmental stage, allowing them to gradually take on more responsibility as they grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-662a00500eea3ead9f86a0b2276e57e5\" style=\"font-size:25px\">3- <strong>Effective praise and validation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em><span class=\"uppercase\"><strong>Praise: <\/strong><\/span><\/em>Praise should focus on effort, progress, and specific actions rather than solely on inherent traits or outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">In other words, instead of generic praise like &#8220;You&#8217;re so smart,&#8221; acknowledge the effort and strategies they used: &#8220;I appreciate how hard you worked on that problem.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Try to highlight their persistence: &#8220;I admire how you kept trying, even when it was challenging.&#8221; regardless of the outcome. This approach fosters a growth mindset, encouraging children to value effort and learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">When we offer praise that is generic or solely based on inherent traits or outcomes, we run the risk of communicating that traits or outcome performance equals self-worth. In other words, kids learn that to be \u2018good\u2019 or worthy they need to be seen as smart or competent usually through external standards such as getting good grades or winning medals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Some children who excel by external standards and therefore get frequently praised for their academic or athletic performance are at higher risk of developing <a href=\"https:\/\/leonpsychology.ca\/en\/perfectionism-signs-risks-strategies-to-cope\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1846\">perfectionistic traits<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em><span class=\"uppercase\"><strong>Validation: <\/strong><\/span><\/em>Sometimes when parents get this feedback, they become afraid to talk about performance which can then invalidate the child\u2019s experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">It is absolutely ok (in fact it is highly recommended) to validate your child\u2019s frustration, disappointment or sadness at losing or getting a bad grade as well as to validate how proud a child feels at their accomplishments. What we need to avoid is overly praising them for those things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">This is what validation and effort-based praise can look like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">I see how disappointed you are by your math grade; you really hoped it would be higher.
