The Peter Pan Syndrome : The Peter Pan Syndrome affect people who do not want or feel unable to grow up , people with the body of an adult but mind of a child. The Syndrome is not currently considered as psychopathology as World Health Organization has not recognized this as psychological disorder. However , an increasingly large number of adults are showing emotionally immature behavior in western societies or persons highly influenced by western culture. They are unable to grow up and take on adult responsibilities , and even dress up and enjoy themselves as teenagers when they are over 30 years old. According to Humbelina Roubles Ortega , Professor of the University of Grenada , over protective parents can lead children to develop the Peter Pan Syndrome as the over protection does not allow development of necessary skills to confront life . The Peter Pan personalities who feel secure in the over protective atmosphere of a family of well wishers find themselves in stormy condition when the protection shield melts due to departure of their well wishers from this world. They find themselves no where and suffer from a stuck up position while taking important decisions of their life. As parents please think , Are we over protective ? Is our extreme love for children moulding them into Peter Pan Personalities thereby making their future stormy , when we will not be there to protect them? Please give responsibility to your children, let them commit mistakes and develop the skill of self correction . Be a mentor to them , guide them to the correct path so that they learn , how to face the life when going gets tuff .
