The bad: Seeking approval
Bacchus said only children also seek approval from superiors and people older than them. "This could lead to trying to impress people at all costs, even if it means living beyond your means," Dlugozima said.
Temper your traits: Bacchus said it's easy to get caught up in all that impressing, especially if it seems to be working. After all, who doesn't like to be liked? Bacchus said only children should slow down and evaluate things. In other words, take a breath.
