Friday Fix: Episode 212
Sometimes, we inadvertently increase the chances that our biggestfearsmight come true.
Thats not to say its your fault if something bad happens to you.
Bad things happen to us through no fault of our own much of the time.
Verywell / Julie Bang
Takeoverprotective parents, for example.
Most of them hover over their children because they dont want them to get hurtphysically or emotionally.
So, they prevent their kids from making mistakes, getting rejected, or taking risks.
Consequently, their kids dont gain the skills to solve problems,cope with pain, ormanage their emotions.
This can cause them to become more susceptible to being hurt later in life.
But thats not the only way this scenario plays out.
