Over Protective Parent
Seen as contributing to a child's
overdependence and interfering with the
move toward greater independence
Remember that Erikson proposed an 8 stage theory of psychosocial
development, from infancy to old age
Stage Two: 18 Months To 3 Years
Autonomy vs Doubt This stage focuses on self control and self confidence and Erickson
points out that this is the stage where an overprotective parent can do the most damage. The
child wants autonomy. We’re all familiar with the two hour wait because they have to tie their
own shoes. We wait because in this stage, failure to reinforce
these efforts will lead the child to doubt themselves and your trust
in them.
Preschoolers with restrictive,
overprotective parents =
shame & self-doubt

Maturing children become less dependent on their parents, with a
resulting decrease in the dependent behaviors,
and become more dependent on peers for approval and attention.

crossroads in human development.

2.Achieving a masculine or feminine social role.
3.Accepting one`s physique and using one`s body effectively.
4.Desiring, accepting, and achieving socially responsible behavior.
5.Achieving emotional independence from parents and other adults.
6.Preparing for an economic career.7.Preparing for marriage and family life.8.Acquiring a set of values and an ethical
system as a guide to behavior – developing an ideology.
