Default Overguiding Our Children?

Mondo brought out such a good point about the negative events in our life shaping us into what we ultimately become until I was wondering about this:

If we, as parents or future parents, valiantly charge into our children's life in persuit of protecting them from the pains of life...are we being:
over protective,
rightfully caring,
subconsciously trying to MOLD them
or just refusing to stand back and let them evolve into who they are destined to be by making their own mistakes?

Okay...so the options are REDUNDANT! Pick one anyway.
