Overparenting(过度养育) is bad for children’s development. If you’re a nervous parent, how can you stop overparenting? Here are some ways.
1. Learn from other independent parents.
Develop relationships with other families who don’t overparent. This can be easier said than done. You might easily find parents who don’t overparent in some aspects(方面) but do in others. For example, they may not excessively(过分地) control their children in their friendships(友谊), but still force their children to take part in a lot of tutoring courses(课外辅导课).
2. Remember your own experiences of not being overparented.
Think about your own independence skills. How did you learn them? How did not being overparented help you when you were a child? What happy memories do you have of learning and playing independently? How did you like to spend your free time? How was not being overparented good for developing your skills?
3. Address your biggest fears.
What are your biggest fears about not overparenting? My biggest fear is my child’s safety(安全). Instead of worrying about everything, do something to solve the problem.
4. _________
You can’t just not overparent. You need to fill that void(空白) with other activities. Try to think about the situations in which you want to overpartent, and think out new plans for those situations. Then try them out. Try to develop your parenting skills. See yourself develop as you see your child develop.
Choose one of the best ways for you, but don’t try to finish all of these at a time.
