Sometimes, we get to question ourselves why some parents are arrogantly domineering and forcing some negative beliefs on their children. The awareness of this problem does not give an exemption to the behavior but it is caused by some basic flaws or the society defects. An individual’s perception and embracing a certainthreatening situation will give them less difficulty to handle their problem with nothing to be afraid of. This idea delivers a message that social existence should be accountable.

In many situations, parents are overbearing because of they are not satisfied about their achievements, although kind of behavior may reverse to past generations. Another significant reason is for the safety and protection of their life like who will be there to take care of them. Since the population is rapidly increasing in urban areas and the empowerment of states dominates, welfare development, elder care and social support systems started slowly to achieve the traditional roles that were taken over by the members of the family. Therefore, the traditional essence for raising children no longer exists. It is an ongoing issue that brought by social expectations, traditions, and parents’ egocentric behavior.

Over bearing parents are different from passive parents. While passive parents tend to be relaxed, overbearing parents want to make their children to be successful in life but doesn’t show selfless love just to follow what they expect from their children.

To fully understand the situation of children with overbearing parents, children should exert an effort to search for answers about the family background of their parents by talking with relatives and visiting the hometown so that they will be able to gain accurate reasons into what shapes their parents’ behavior.
