The inverse of this, of course is the danger raising children who expect everyone to be amazed and engaged with every little thing they do or achieve.


Good point. I think all these engagements have to be done with an eye into the future personality of the child. My friend works with a girl who expects everything to be done for her (including asking the security lady to get two frozen chickens from the office fridge to her car). So should kids be treated the same way different people would treat them in life (with the exception of being abusive of course).
