An overly protective parenting approach towards early childhood can hinder the child's holistic development. This study shows that an overprotective attitude can hinder the growth of children's independence, decision-making ability and social skills. In addition, children who are overprotected tend to have low self-confidence, have difficulty managing emotions, and lack a sense of responsibility. Lack of opportunities to learn from mistakes and limited social interaction further exacerbate this condition. On the other hand, a supportive parenting style, with parents as facilitators, allows children to develop their potential optimally and become independent individuals who are able to adapt to the social environment.
