So I thought it's called "building children up"..

When parents say, "Hey my child got an award because she's the best. She's the best child in the world, she makes no mistakes and she's an angel with or without our presence. No one is better than her."

What is this called if the statements are not even true?

In an idyllic world that's how a parent should see their children. The reality is our children aren't perfect, just as we have our flaws.

I guess it's called reality. As parents we need to be aware of our children's shortcomings and try to improve those areas. Where they excel, they need to be rewarded. Too often we dwell on the negatives and ignore the positives.
