I think there is no such thing as too much communication when both sides are interested and communicating with one another. The problem usually arises when one side is silent!
There can also be misinterpretations of each other's intentions and individual expectations. As a team leader,I find I may have sometimes sent too many "suggestions" too quickly. I do this because I want everyone to progress as quickly as I think they could or may wish to. But such wish may sometimes turn out to be simply assumptions on your part.I had a recent case where a downline asked a lot of questions. I answered them to my best ability and also made suggestions of how she may progress as quickly as possible. Now,she has stopped communicating and has also stopped visiting her SFI Affiliates Page regularly and doing daily tasks. What can one do except try and learn from the experience. So, I have now decided that I will answer questions when asked and send regular joint mails but not go out of my way to offer suggestions and advice. This may be right or wrong. The future will tell. This also raises some confusion for me but it cannot be helped.
So I would say, go by your gut feeling. Even if it eventually turns out to be wrong you will, at least, have the satisfaction of knowing that you did what you thought was right at the time.
