Over Protective Parents



So here I am once again in my room in this boring old city they call London...and i decided to write a new blog on over protective parents. See me i have parents that love me dearly and pretty much give me anything that i ask for, I'm very fortunate to come from a loving family and to have loving parents like mine.BUUUUTTTT with each loving parents that people may have comes also the over protective side of them...and Boy are my parents TOO OVER PROTECTIVE...i mean don't get me wrong i love my parents and all and they are supposed to watch over me or what not...but i just feel like sometimes i need to do things on my own and sometimes my parents don't give me that privilege...but I've seen worst cases TRUST ME I've seen kids who parents who won't even let them walk outside past 6(YEA I KNOW)...now if that were my case I'd probably go crazy considering the amount times i go out with my girls...but i just think that some parents need to realize that there comes a certain point and time where your child needs to be independent and where you need to let them make mistakes so that they are able to learn.
Because i know alot of parents don't want their kids making MAJOR mistakes or anything like that but you also gotta know that we need to make mistakes in our lives ESPECIALLY when were younger so that we can learn from those mistakes and be able to move forward from that. If we don't make mistakes how are we supposed to know right from wrong? our parents just telling us that this is right or wrong doesn't always do the trick....ANOTHER major thing about this is that parents also need to know that telling your kids what to do IS NOT always going to work. I remember when i was younger i used to do things just because i knew that it would make my parents mad(DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS KIDS) but I'm just saying most kids ESPECIALLY around the age of 12-19 like to be a sort of rebels, they like to do what they wanna do and they're definitely not going to let they're parents tell them what to do. That's just the teenage hood. You parents went through it as well so you gotta know that your kids are bound to go through it as well...should you put some rules and boundaries in place with your kids? YES do it but you gotta also be able to compromise with your child, so that both of you can make a good conclusion and both parties are happy...telling them what to do and not discussing it with your child is probably one of the WORST ways to get through to your kid...talking is Key and being able to compromise with your child as well. If you use these techniques i ASSURE you that you will not be having any problems with your children. I didn't have these type of opportunities when i was younger to be able to compromise with my parents and all that i had to learn the hard way loll and that was by misbehaving but i have come to realize that there are better ways to make yourself happy but also your parents.
