Difficult Adopted Child: Spoiled Brat or Special Needs?
Yesterday, Lisa wrote a blog entry entitled Does Your Adopted or Biological Child Have Pampered Child Syndrome? in which she said the following:
So what behavior is characteristic of a pampered child? Firstly, these children expect to get their own way all the time, and when they don’t they cry, throw tantrums, sulk and whine. They simply refuse to accept the word “no.” ~ Lisa
I agree with everything that Lisa wrote about pampered children, who I, myself, call spoiled brats, and I have seen the parenting that results in this annoying behavior. That being said, I would like to point out that there is another “breed” of child that fits Lisa’s description that is not the result of bad parenting but, instead, the result of special needs.
Let me use my friend’s daughter, L, as an example.
