Synopsis

Teachers recognise them in their classrooms; professionals encounter them in their offices; parents live with them in their homes: CHILDREN...Who are given everything, but constantly demand more; Who believe that they are entitled to the same rights as adults, but are not ready to accept grown-up responsibilities; Who are loved, nurtured and protected, yet are unhappy, anxious or angry; and Who are increasingly being diagnosed with emotional, behavioural or other major psychiatric disorders. The Pampered Child Syndrome is not something a child has, like the measles. Nor is it something a child is, like 'depressed' or 'defiant' or 'a problem'. It is a multifaceted sociological phenomenon, driven and supported by parents who truly believe that they have their children's best interest at heart, and who work hard to ensure that their youngsters are given everything possible to make them feel special. In turn, the Pampered Child Syndrome is fuelled by those professionals who recommend child-driven parenting or teaching practices, who provide diagnosis-driven solutions to the problems parents are facing, and whose advice parents hungrily seek and follow.
