By doing too much, parents are overnurturing. They can also overnurture by spoiling, paying too much attention, things that kids should be learning to do on their own, parents are doing, and kids are being allowed not to take others into cosideraton. The third is lack of structure. This is have no rules or don't have consequences if rules are broken. In turn kids are not learning valuable life skills. These forms of overindulgence can happen in two or all three ways.
