How do I express what the word means in English?
When we were children, and saw something amazing and really wanted, you would ask your mom or dad for that things, if they refused you, you would be very sweet to your parents and said something delightful to them, or you were palying with your elders and do some cute and adorable behaviors making them happy, How can I describe the kind of behavior as a phrase in English？

The behavior always only exist in our childhood, because if you behaved like this when you are grown up, you would be said childish in general. In Chinese, we always say it as "撒娇". I really want to know it, please.
