Overprotective parents do not exist.
I am Nycka Nunes, a visual artist who works with photography, 2D digital painting and digital collage. In this blog, I talk about my artistic work, who I am, my lifestyle, what inspires me and what makes me reflect.
As emotionally immature people have a bad habit of taking everything personally, if you feel offended, seek out a psychologist to resolve your emotional discomfort instead of getting angry at me for having touched on a subject that you never dared to question. If I do not mention your first and last name below, this is not a text about you.
What some call overprotective parents is nothing more than a sugary name for parents who see their children as their property, as beings (anything but human) without any capacity to reason on their own. And they act this way because they have never had the capacity to reason on their own, they have never questioned their own parents' attitudes and simply repeat them.
When a parent prevents a child from making a decision that the child is capable of making, such as what to wear or what color they would like the walls of their bedroom to be, that parent is not thinking about the child's well-being. They are only thinking about themselves. They are repeating patterns imposed by their own parents, because they did not have the decency to seek professional help to deal with such limiting beliefs, and they are transferring them to their own children.
Having children before seeking professional help (at least a psychologist) to deal with their own limiting beliefs, their own traumas and other issues that may affect the child's education is an act of irresponsibility and negligence. It is common, but it is irresponsible and negligent. Following the herd is a sign of low intelligence.
People learn to make decisions by making decisions. If someone's son wants to go to school dressed as Rapunzel, and the father wants to forbid it because Rapunzel is a female character, and the father is bothered by the idea that this means his boy is gay or trans, the father is the problem. If the father is bothered by others bullying him, the father is the problem. It is his limited ability to deal with gender roles, understanding them as if they were something fixed, and his need to believe that there is only one right way for boys to dress that is the problem. If that were not the case, someone bullying his son would be something he would be able to deal with and support the child so that he can deal with the situation in a healthy way.
If a girl wants to sit with her legs open and feels comfortable doing so, instead of forbidding her, why don't the parents start dressing her in shorts and pants instead of filling her closet with dresses and forbidding the girl to sit in a way that is comfortable for her? Idiocy, inability to reflect and seek creative solutions, the need to cling to stupid labels without questioning them.
Art exists for those who seek to see things from other angles, for those who seek to exercise critical thinking, for those who dare to confront absolute truths. One of the important roles of art is to shake out those old rugs under which people try to hide issues that their inner child has been forbidden to question.
