The children are basically in charge, rarely (if ever) hear the word no. Little to no boundaries, limitations, or expectations in their world.
Often exhibit a “fake” high self-esteem. When things go their way they feel great, any adversity and they often have a melt-down.
Issues of entitlement, poor self-control
