Overprotection in particular relates to excessive care of parents or a figure of authority, to children, or minors, or persons in charge, who could be employed, students, and even to persons with limitations, disabilities, weak to perform a task or to defend themselves from threats, or to persons who have any other disadvantage to others. Sometimes, these "protectors" are told that overprotection is not advisable, because it only accentuates or confirms the weakness of the "protected", who do not develop skills, do not acquire courage for the defense of their person, do not acquire, for example, immunoprotection, because they do not come into contact with pathogens; among other disadvantages.
