How can you counter narcissistic traits in your children?

In: Narcissism [Edit categories]

Answer:

My advise is DONT try and counter childhood narcissism. Children need training in empathy. They dont naturally know what is acceptable behavior and what is not. As a parent good behavior should be rewarded, bad behavior should be explained and sanctions emposed if it is repetative. No hitting, no name calling and no withdrawl of affection should be done at all. They will get the message as to what works and what wont. CRITICISM IS FORBIDDEN>it only hurts it doe not correct.
