"Hong Kong Kids" or "Kong Kids" (Kong Hai; ; Putonghua: Gǎng Hái) is an expression, often derogatory, that refers to a subset of children or teenagers in Hong Kong who, among other undesirable traits, are overly dependent, have low emotional intelligence and have weak self-management skills.「港孩」：3低6不得 .Wenweipo.21 March 2011. The term "Kong Kids" was coined in 2009 in a book titled Kong Kids: The Nightmares for Parents and Teachers published by MingPao. The book summarizes five negative characteristics common in children born in Hong Kong after the 1990s. The book cited parents who spoil their children from an early age as the party responsible for the upbringing of "Kong Kids". Treating their children like "princes and princesses", parents tend to spoil their children with material gifts and money (not dissimilar to the "little emperor syndrome" prevalent in mainland China). In addition, parents often have a hand in tackling everyday, trivial problems that their children might face, limiting opportunities for the children to problem-solve on their own. Growing up under a spotlight, children often develop a self-centred personality, believing that the Earth revolves around them. It's also likely for Kong Kids to have a short temper when faced with problems, since they are not used to solving problems on their own. These harmful habits and characters may influence future generations, forming a vicious cycle. They are usually emotional and self-centered . With low Emotional Quotient (EQ), Kong Kids cannot control their emotion in any circumstances, such as dealing with unpleasant situations. They want to be under the spotlight and cared for by everyone. They are usually weak in interpersonal communication and self-control. Being self-centered , they cannot put themselves into others' shoes and respect others' opinions. They lack basic manners and come into conflicts easily. Poor family situations and relationships Because the children rely excessively on others for care, this pressures parents to be responsible for their child's actions. The embarrassment and frustration of managing children's poor behavior at home and in public prevents the growth of a healthy parent-child relationship and parents may feel frustrated and humiliated by their children's behavior .
