When the subject of over permissive parenting came up in class, I felt like i knew everything about. Everybody hopes that they will make a loving parent someday but what about too loving. These parents that are too loving are usually referred to as permissive parents. This can cause some major problems in children. Problems with permissive parenting were stated in this article as having trouble forming to society and having a low self esteem.
I experience some of these problems first hand with own two nephews. As much as i hate to say it, my sister and her husband are two of the most permissive parents i have ever come across. It is easy for me to agree with this article because i witness it every time i see my nephews. My nephews were brought up with such a "get whatever you want" and "anything for you sweety" environment that already at ages 4 and 7, my nephews can manipulate there parents into getting anything they want.
The older nephew, Ive noticed, is already starting to develop some psychological issues with classmates at school, his teachers, and even his own brother. The issues i have noticed greatly deal with trust, respect, temperament, and overall social interaction.
I think permissive parenting is a more serious problem for the children then most of us are aware of. I plan on understanding it more so i can be aware of the signs and hopefully not love my kids too much to the point of this situation.

In my opinion you cannot love a child too much. An authoritative parent does not love their children any less than a permissive parent. Permissive parents merely don't have a strict set of rules or otherwise don't enforce them, they act more like friends when a child needs a parent.
