What caused the little emperor syndrome in china?

Answer 1

The "little emperor syndrome" in China refers to the phenomenon where only children, a result of the one-child policy implemented from 1979 to 2015, are often seen as spoiled, overindulged, and overly protected by their parents and grandparents. This policy led to a demographic shift, creating a generation with fewer siblings and increased parental attention, which in turn fostered expectations of high achievement and entitlement. The pressure to succeed, combined with the lack of sibling rivalry, has contributed to behavioral issues associated with this syndrome. Additionally, societal and cultural factors emphasizing educational success further exacerbate these tendencies.
