Disclaimer: This article was written with the help of A.I. software. The term "spoiled child" is often thrown around, but what does it really mean?

Although parents generally don’t intend to "spoil" a child, certain parenting strategies—often born from well-meaning intentions or a reflection of how they were raised—can lead to this outcome. The consequences are far-reaching, with specific traits often carrying over into adulthood, impacting both workplace dynamics and personal relationships.
