Little Emperor Syndrome

Little Emperor Syndrome is a term used to describe a problem in China where parents focus too much attention and material items on their only child. This means that they give too many toys and do not set enough rules or boundaries for their child, so the child can become spoiled and expect too much from others. This can lead to the child being unhappy and having difficulty making friends or succeeding in school.
