Summarize this article for a 10 year old
A spoiled child or spoiled brat is a derogatory term aimed at children who exhibit behavioral problems from being overindulged by their parents or other caregivers. Children and teens who are perceived as spoiled may be described as "overindulged", "grandiose", "narcissistic" or "egocentric-regressed". When the child has a neurological condition such as autism, ADHD or intellectual disability, observers may see them as "spoiled".[citation needed] There is no specific scientific definition of what "spoiled" means, and professionals are often unwilling to use the label because it is considered vague and derogatory.[1][2] Being spoiled is not recognized as a mental disorder in any of the medical manuals, such as the ICD-10[3] or the DSM-IV,[4] or its successor, the DSM-5.[5] In his book, The Myth of the Spoiled Child, Alfie Kohn asserts a debunking of varioys claims of spoiling of children leading to negative outcomes.
