OVERPROTECTIVE
Overprotective parents shield their children from the harsh realities of life. Like authoritarian parents, they exert a lot of control over their children, but their method is different.
Instead of using rules and threats, overprotective parents present themselves as allies.
They see the world as a threat and express this fear to their children.
They rescue their children from dealing with any harsh reality.
For example, instead of helping children understand difficult homework assignments, overprotective parents actually do the work for them. This leaves a child poorly prepared to deal with the realities of adult life.
