Mothers and fathers who are fixated with 'being special, exceptional and unique' and who are in need of 'admiration and praise' are often dubbed 'peacock parents'.
Another characteristic of the peacock parent is that they're 'absent emotionally' and one leading psychologist says grown-ups exhibiting such behaviour could spark emotional issues for their children later in life.
The phrase 'peacock parent' has grown in popularity thanks to UK-based psychotherapist Kathleen Saxton, whose memoir 'My parent the peacock: Discovery and Recovery from Narcissistic Parenting' is out in September.
