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? According to Dr. Denitrea Vaughan, Psy.D., LPC, a Texas-based supervisor with Thriveworks, "'Spoiled,' as in a 'spoiled child,' can be defined as characteristics of excessive self-centered and immature behaviors due to a lack of age-appropriate boundaries being set by parents." 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.

J.D. Vance’s views on gender and parenting have come back to haunt him, again.In 2020, long before he entered politics, Vance appeared on a podcast where the host said that having grandmothers help raise children is “the whole purpose of the postmenopausal female.”Vance agreed—and that wasn’t all of what was discussed on the episode.

It is very rare to meet women who are truly psychologically strong. Most often, a woman just pretends to be like that. In public, she is rude and tough, but at home she cries into her pillow, screams, or falls into depression. This means that her psychological strength is not yet so great.

Hurried Child Syndrome, a term proposed by Dr. David Elkind, is characterized by a child’s exposure to pressures and demands that exceed their natural developmental stages.
