sheltered child

a child who is overly protected from the outside world, impacting their judgmental, social, and economic skills. this usually happens because of a parent, guardian, or adult figure in the child's life.

child: i can't go out tonight, my parents won't let me because it's too dangerous.
friend: dude it's not dangerous it's literally a block away from here. you're such a sheltered child.
