As an educator and a trainer, I know for sure if the child that is brought to me for a training by her parents is spoiled or not. Spoiling a child affects the child's growth. And it might result to the following factors: 
1. panicking over everything and anything.

"  Mistake No. 1: Panicking Over Anything and Everything
Many new parents have overblown physical reactions to spitting up, vomiting, and other things a baby does," explains New York City psychoanalyst Leon Hoffman, MD, "and the baby picks up on that anxiety." Hoffman is the director of the Pacella Parent Child Center. He tells WebMD that parents can literally waste the entire first year of their baby's life by sweating the small stuff. Is he having too many bowel movements or too few? Is she spitting up too much? Is she getting enough to eat or too little? Does he cry too much or not enough? Any of that sound familiar to you? Hoffman says, "This worry gets in the way of being spontaneous and enjoying your infant's first year of life. Babies are far more resilient than we give them credit for. "

2. Not letting your child to cry out loud

Mistake No. 2: Not Letting Your Infant Cry It Out

"We, as parents, think our job is to make sure the baby is not crying," says Atlanta-based pediatric nurse Jennifer Walker, RN. "That's because we associate crying with the fact that we are doing something wrong and we need to fix it." Walker is coauthor of The Moms on Call Guide to Basic Baby Care. "Babies are designed to cry," she tells WebMD. They can be perfectly diapered and fed and still cry like you are pulling an arm off." 

3. Lack of Parenting Knowledge

 Mistake No. 4: Trusting Unreliable Sources for Parenting Advice "Many new parents go to the wrong places for parenting advice," says Walker. "This is a classic parenting mistake," she says, and she advises that you be careful about where you get your information. Walker says, "WebMD.com, the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the American Academy of Pediatrics are reputable and useful when making decisions about general medical care and immunizations." 

4. Noisy and confused environment

 Mistake No. 5: Fighting Too Much (or Too Little) in Front of Your Baby

"Even a 3-month-old will pick up vibes," Friel says. In terms of fighting, he suggests you ask yourself "Is it scary?" or "Is it frequent?" "Look at the intensity and frequency of your fights," he says. "Snapping every now and then is a normal part of living with another person. And when people start to suppress too much, it's just as bad as going to the other extreme."

The above factors definitely affect the growth and development of the child.
