Infantilising generally refers to treating someone as if they were an infant or child, regardless of their actual age or capabilities. Coddling would refer to being overly protective, treating people as if they are vulnerable somehow, and it can happen in relationships, families, workplaces, universities etc.
It can involve speaking to someone as if they are an infant, making decisions on their behalf, assuming emotional fragility and using trigger warnings.
Although some people may appreciate certain measures aimed at creating supportive environments, others may perceive them as limiting personal responsibility and autonomy.
Whether with done with good intentions or as a way to control and create dependancy, this video looks at the affects of adults being infantilised and overly protected, how it can affect self confidence, self efficacy, and autonomy.
