The parents let the brat get their way in most things and thus worsen greed, selfishness, and arrogance in the child. A spoiled brat is archetypically an only child who is constantly doted on by their parents, usually in excess. One could also be the younger sibling of an older child. Often, if the child gets a response of "no", he or she will scream, shout, cry, hit others and behave inappropriately and like an infant, until they have had their way. Experts in the subject believe this behavior is brought on by the insecurity that results from over-affection of the parents and a lack of discipline and clearly-set boundaries in childhood. A spoiled child is also typically given too many sweets, toys and other such things, and whenever they want them, and this also builds greed and selfishness and hence contributes and is often analogous with the other characteristics.

I;d look for the parents characteristics. If a parent does things like 'saying yes' to a child just because its easier and avoids a tantrum from the child - the child will be spoiled.
To me a spoilt child is one who doesnt really have clear bondaries and cant respect a firm 'NO' when given.
Of course all children try it on and try to push the boundaries (hence the terrible 2's) thats why it is important to show a child a tantrum wont get them what they want, and never let an outburst sway ur decision ... u do that and they will always try a tantrum to get you to change ur mind - after all it worked for them before, so why wouldnt they persist?!

I dont think its fair to the child if they get what they want too often - how are they going to cope with life like that? They'll become used to having their own way all the time and lets face it, life can be cruel and unfair - I think its a parental duty to prepare your child for that, to enable them to cope with lifes disappointments.

A child who doesn't show respect and mouths off at his parents and others. Spoiled brats don't appreciate what they are given and are demanding. They don't behave and don't respect property. They can be children who don't have a lot or children who do have a lot. It has nothing to do with how much they have but instead with how much they appreciate what they have and the people in their lives. They are raised without having limitations put on them to make them more socially acceptable people, and if anyone tries to set limits on them they can't handle it.

My step daughter is a spoilt brat she don't get on with my daughter faith who is 2 years old. Characteristics are she will play with my daughters toys but my daughter faith cant play with hers, we cant go in a shop with out her wanting something that i really cant afford. My step daughter tends to get her own way most of the time she don't like it when my daughter sits on my knee she will try and push her of she also don't do as she is told. I was not happy when she started shop lifting she is only 5 years old. my step daughter lives with her mum and stays with me and her dad at the weekends. A spoilt brat is a child that don't like sharing your time with other children.

Not learning to take NO for an answer.
Tantrums: (screaming and kicking at home and in public places such as stores)
The child knows they will get their way, even when the parent is upset by their behavior.

Having parents that are too patient or not in agreement in what to do when the child does wrong. Even the very young get to understand what is right from wrong if the parents learn how to teach the baby. Yes, BABY.
The emphasis is TEACH, not Abuse.

Thats a bit harsh. We all 'spoil' our children now and again, it just depends on the parents role and attitude.
If you 'over spoil' your child from a small age, they are growing up with high expectations and will want more because they can voice their opinions more.
Try a star chart to promote positive behaviour rewarding with a small treat at the end of it.

If a child gets what THEY want over 70% of the time, if they cry and wine when they dont, if they don't listen, don't care and talk back to the people around them, they probbly are one.

hmm, a child who stamps his feet and gets in a rage wen he wants something, or screams and wont giv up until he gets what he wants, best advice is dont giv in, as its rewarding the behaviour, ignore the screaming, be calm, and dont giv in, it will stop eventually, but only if youre consistent, children soon realise what works and what doesnt, reward good behaviour instead

Somebody who has absolutely no respect for others & behaves without regard for others. Somebody with no listening or communication skill that envolves empathy or compassion.
