I would say, it's part of how I am more of an introvert and not confident in some aspects because my parents were overly protective. It got to a point, I had to confront them, making them know I am not a child. It's true parents want the best for their kids but it will get to a point, they would need to strike a balance. Kids should be allowed some freedom and at the same time be guided and supported. Kids need to learn how to navigate certain challenges themselves.
I also had to confront my parents and let them know that I can do certain things myself. My mom took my older siblings to school till they got to SS3. Imagine every morning, she’d take them to school and after school, she’d pick them up. Mine was different. And I'm glad I made that decision.
I'm glad you agree with me that kids need to learn how to navigate certain challenges themselves.
Thanks for stopping by.
