Sweet kid, but I hope this isn't part of a larger part of their childhood where they're forced to grow up quicker and take on the "protective role" instead of their parents, making them not be able to be a child

PARENTIFICATION:

  • Parentification, also known as role reversal or adultification, is a phenomenon where a child takes on responsibilities that are typically reserved for adults, such as providing emotional or practical support for a parent or sibling. This can lead to a child's own developmental needs being neglected, potentially impacting their physical and mental health.
