How do you recognize a narcissistic child?

How do you recognize a narcissistic child?

Narcissists consider themselves better than others. They often get it through false praise from their parents. 5 signs of narcissistic children.

Narcissists consider themselves nicer, smarter and better than other people

People who are considered to be narcissistic are in love, selfish and disdainful of others. They want to be perceived as superior and treated that way. They believe that they always act accurately and expect constant praise from those around them. They see their talents and achievements as excessively valuable and often fantasize about how they can gain power, success and charisma. Even if their own performance is only good, but not extraordinarily good, they don’t feel it that way.

What children really want

An old saying goes: "Everyone is a blacksmith of their own happiness." We know how much truth there is in this sentence. But sometimes it is not so easy to be happy. Once you have been touched by misfortune, you will not find happiness so quickly. But why is that? Why are many people so unhappy? Let’s take a look at our society. This is characterized by power relations, social injustice, wealth and poverty.

If you have not learned in childhood that you are worth something, that you have strengths, there is the possibility of becoming a notoriously unhappy person. Parents have the responsible task of forming happy children from their children, conveying love to them and showing limits. Once a balance has been struck, children have a good chance of a happy future.

Study: Children love magazines. Parents too!

popular with kids. Correctly read. And yes, we mean booklets made from good old paper!

The Children’s Media Study 2019 * clearly shows that children between the ages of 6 and 13 can still enjoy reading a magazine today. 74% of this age group read at least one of the 46 children’s magazines offered by the publishing houses and queried in the study.

Children read more, not less

There is a clear trend that our children reach for and read a magazine several times a week even in these digital times: the use of magazines, comics and books has increased by a further 5% compared to 2017 and is now a good 76%.

I don't enjoy playing with my child - what to do?

I don’t enjoy playing with my child

What to do if playing with your own child is not fun?

Many parents feel like their child’s sole entertainer. "Mom me is boring, we play man don’t annoy you, dad come now finally build the ball track!" Parents as the most important caregivers for a child also come first when it comes to playing. Does it have to be that way? What if I have to push myself to play with my kids?

Not the player type:

Some parents know the problem that they are not naturally the type of person who likes to play. Often it is not only overcoming yourself to play a board game or cards with friends, but especially to meet the daily demands of your children.

Communication with the child
Or: Why my child can’t hear me

Iris van den Hoeven, BA provides answers to the following questions:

  • Why do some children listen to their parents at the first hint, while for some you cannot achieve anything even with the megaphone?
  • How can I communicate with my child so that what I say also reaches them?
  • How can I support and strengthen it in its problem-solving skills through the type of communication?
  • What are the ways out of the curse and grouse trap??
  • What are limits (are they good for?) And how should they be set?
  • . and what was the consequences again?

Get involved in an exciting change of perspective and look forward to more ease and serenity in everyday upbringing. So that we can enjoy our children.
