意思
Giving someone too much freedom.
文化背景
In villages, 'Sir charhauna' is often a serious social critique. A family with 'spoiled' children is seen as having weak leadership, which can affect their social standing (Izzat). In cities, the phrase is used more lightly, often regarding lifestyle choices like expensive gadgets or late-night parties. The 'head' is central to Sikh identity (Turban). While the idiom is secular, the reverence for the head makes the metaphor of 'climbing it' particularly potent. Punjabi immigrants often use this phrase to describe 'Westernized' children who they feel have too much freedom compared to traditional upbringing.
Context is key
Use this phrase when you want to sound like a native speaker complaining about someone's behavior.
Don't use for objects
Remember, this is for people and pets, not for putting a hat on your head!

The 'Passive' trick
If you want to say someone IS spoiled without blaming anyone, say 'ਉਹ ਸਿਰ ਚੜ੍ਹਿਆ ਹੋਇਆ ਹੈ' (He is in the state of having climbed the head).
Grandparent exception
It's almost expected for grandparents to 'Sir charhauna' their grandkids. It's seen as their right!
