My guess is that your light is sunburnbing the leaves. Immature palms do no require, as a rule, direct light but filtered light.
It looks to me that you are burning the palm up.....the picture makes it hard to tell.
Good luck.

i water it enough and spray it a few times a day with a water mist bottle to try and give it a proper humidity.
below is a picture of the Palm. it is the two leaves to the left.
please try and tell me what the problem is and what i can do to prevent this from happening in the future!
