The Perfect One has seen his first frown. He has received his first harsh slap on the hand. He got yelled at, and he doesn't like it one bit. He must learn to wait his turn, and if he objects to this, he will be sternly reminded to share, to give back an object that belongs to somebody else, and to keep quiet when someone else is talking. When the Prince was born, he was taught to expect certain things.
Expectations are great.
If everyone around you is planning to live up to them, but they can be devastating when things change. Our poor little Prince expected everyone to dote on him forever, continue to proclaim his perfection, and see to his every whim. How well Prince Precious adjusts to this startling discovery will directly impact on the development of his self esteem. Self esteem is plain and simple. It's all about who you think you are.
