This behavior can limit the child's ability to develop independence, resilience, problem-solving skills, and confidence in their own abilities. Overprotection is often rooted in the caregiver's anxiety or fear about the child's safety and well-being, but it can lead to unintended negative consequences for the child's emotional and psychological development.
