The Golden Child

You could do no wrong. Praise came easily. The trade-off: you had to keep being the kind of person who deserved it.

What this type means

The Golden Child is the one held up as the family's favorite, the proof of the family's value. Distinct from Hero (which is about achievement) — Golden is about being-the-favorite. The adult pattern: often produces successful, externally-confident people with private brittleness around being seen as less-than.
