HOW TO DEAL WITH OVER-PROTECTIVE PARENTS

are your parents overprotective of your personal life? Like, they are constantly
checking on you and they just don’t want you to hang out with friends without
supervision.
That’s one of those thousand qualities of over-protective parents. They tend to
always pamper you signifying that they care for you.
Do you have any idea, how you can deal with them over this?
If you try to have an open mind here, you can have a clear image of
everybody’s perspective. Let's elaborate on this to you in this video on ‘HOW
TO DEAL WITH OVER-PROTECTIVE PARENTS’.

INTRODUCTION
Children growing up with over-protective parents are constantly supervised
and are dependent on their parents even after they attain a certain age. They
are often unconfident, fearful, and never prepared to face the outside the
world. Well, before only getting to the results, let’s first understand the
reasons which led to this - the perspective of those over-protective parents.
Some parents are worried and genuinely scared which is plausible, especially in
a world where teenagers tend to get vulnerable in extreme activities. Some
wallow in drugs, most of them are depressed which often drives the emotional
cause to commit suicide, girls tend to get themselves pregnant at an early age
and many are overwhelmed by the appearance of a fashionable career every
day. So, this leads parents to over-care and be over-protective of their kids.
As we have an idea of both the children's and parent's perspectives, let’s
discuss some ways where you can deal with your over-protective parents in a
very genuine and understandable way.
1. Communication is the key
Think before you speak to your parents, plan out what to say, and pay
attention to what you are talking you are talking about. Talk to them about the
boundaries and freedom you require in your personal life, try to be patient
whilst talking to them and if they don’t accept, just keep trying. Never try to
lose your calm, keep trying.

2. Baby steps
‘Nothing without happens focus. Don’t try to do everything at once, take it one
step at a time.
The two biggest warriors are time and patience. Sometimes parents can be
unreasonable or they would really be not interested to listen to your reasons,
they wait for them to calm down. Never let them feel that you take advantage
of them when they let you out. So, be patient, take small steps, and plan
before you deal with them.

3. Limit interaction
Learn to limit your interaction with your parents. If you are living with your
overprotective parents or not you have to make sure what and how much you
have to express and share with your parents. Personal and healthy boundaries
can be beneficial for both you and your overprotective parents.

4. Always be prepared
When you suddenly try to take a stand for yourself after all these years being
under their control, you might have to expect a conflict or big arguments
against you and this would eventually make you feel guilty. Overprotective
parents tend to guilt you every time you try to take a stand for yourself, so it’s
better that you be prepared for it in advance and not feel guilty about what
you did, because it was never wrong to be guilty about it.

5. Take responsibility to have faith in you


Try to make them trust you, like providing your friend’s numbers to parents
when you go out with them so that they can contact you and always know
where you are and what you are doing or calling or texting them every 30
minutes or so when you are out. Taking these responsibilities in your hand,
makes your overprotective parents trust you more and they would eventually
let you, go out.

6. Open for their advice at any instance


Trying to be fine to listen to their advice, at any time is the best way to act
mature as a young person. At this instant, you have to stop being selfish about
yourself and sit patiently to listen to them, no matter what it is about. They
want to help you and want you to make the right choices, so it’s better you
understand and be attentive around them.

7. Indicate that you are clever to make good choices


Overprotective parents are just extra careful about their kids and they are
always worried about their kid’s life and future. So, children growing up in this
overprotective environment have to provide trust to their parents so that they
can handle life alone too. This trust about you grows up in your parent’s minds,
only when you reflect safe changes in your everyday activities.

8. Try to understand them at times


Some parents tend to be overprotective due to many reasons, and it is never in
a negative way that they want control over their child. They just worry more
than normal parents due to the many dangers they see outside and they really
don’t want their children to be affected. So, it is better that you understand
them sometimes in some situations and act accordingly.

CONCLUSION
Being mutually understanding with each other, both as parents and children
lead you to have a healthy and happy family. When kids struggle to find ways
to deal with their overprotective parents, even parents should have equal
responsibilities for taking care of their child in the right way. Because these
children are our future generation and being a healthy understanding parent
makes the next generation beautiful to live in.
Children too should understand their parents as they are genuinely concerned
about your life and future. Especially control in your teenage age because it’s
the most vulnerable age when you tend to experiment with your life. Make
sure that both equally trust each other
