Can you ever get too much guidance?

Guidance is all well and good, but it can never replace self responsibility.

I wonder sometimes how much is too much. For example, a child can grow up in a nurturing environment yet still choose a path of what seems like self sabotage, whereas another child can grow in hardship, in a home devoid of love and support , yet pull it all together to achieve whatever they set out to, rejecting what may have seemed like a clear cut route to destruction and a repetition of history.
I think there are bigger things at play as to why things happen, and often if its meant to .. it will.
