"Over-nurturing" or "overindulgence " can be detrimental by preventing a child from developing necessary independence, coping skills, and a sense of responsibility. It might lead to issues like self-centeredness and difficulty dealing with setbacks.

Over-nurturing keeps children from becoming successful and self-confident.

Affection does not harm the child; instead, love and affection are needed for the child to grow into a happy and confident person. So, when do love and affection, which cannot be measured, become too much and affect the child counterproductive?

I would enroll in an education class on parenting if you have concerns, Fatunla. Just a suggestion.
