The overprotected child will tend to display ______.

Correct answer: Immaturity. Overprotected children are not given chances to solve problems or take responsibility, so they tend to remain immature and dependent.

• Aggressiveness: Aggressiveness is more commonly linked with rejection or harsh discipline.
• Defensiveness: Defensiveness is not the typical result of overprotection.
• None of these: “None of these” is incorrect because immaturity is the typical result.
