These are the ways excessive worry affects your children

Although overly anxious parents believe they are doing what is best for their child, they negatively impact the child's self-esteem and independence.

Parenting is one of the most demanding roles, because along with unconditional love, it brings many challenges, concerns, and decisions that shape a child's development.

Modern parents face an overwhelming amount of information, social pressures, and high expectations for what it means to be a "good parent," causing them to become overly anxious and controlling of their child's life.

Children who have space to explore, learn from personal mistakes, and develop self-confidence become more responsible and emotionally stable, prepared for life's challenges.

“Neurotic parenting” is characterized by constant worry, control, and fear of making mistakes. Parents with this approach often experience high levels of stress and anxiety, as they fear every aspect of their child’s development, safety, and success.

These parents often take on too much responsibility and interfere in situations that the child can resolve on their own. This includes excessive concern for safety, high perfectionism, constant interference in the child's conflicts, and a lack of trust in the child's decisions.

Because of this, children of such parents often have difficulty making decisions, making friends, and forming healthy relationships, while coping with their fears and anxieties.
