Could you explain to me what " this priority" means in context? As one mother of an only child wrote: "Only children who don't develop good listening skills may grow up believing that what they have to say is more important than what anyone else has to say. Even though we may enjoy listening to our only child, they should hear us as well. The child who continually interrupts adults or always has to draw attention to herself is a child who isn't thinking enough about those around her." If she grows up with this priority in mind, she may be "spoiled" for later relationships.
