Answer to Question 1

1. Modeling by overanxious and protective parents can sensitize children to the dangers of the outside world, communicates to them a lack of confidence in the child's ability to cope and reinforces the child's feelings of inadequacy. 2. Indifferent or detached parents or rejecting parents cause the child to not feel adequately supported in mastering essential competencies and gaining a positive self concept. Either repeated failures from poor learning skills leads to anxiety or withdrawal in the face of a threat or the child performs adequately but is overly self-critical and feels anxious and devalued because of self-perception of failure and loss of parental love.
