Narcissism is one of the most difficult disorders to treat in adults, but many of the symptoms and tendencies begin in childhood when it’s easier to address and curtail such behaviors. Mary Ann Little helps parents recognize the symptoms and develop parenting practices that can reverse those behaviors before they become entrenched.

Description
Not a quick how-to, this is for the parent, clinician, or caregiver seeking in-depth information and guidance. – Booklist
Notice the signs of narcissism in your child and act to curb them before it’s too late. Raising empathetic and unselfish young people in today’s “all about me” world might seem impossible, but parents can take meaningful action to protect children from these harmful influences. Written by a psychologist with decades of clinical experience, Childhood Narcissism explains how selfish, entitled behaviour can take root in a child and shows parents how to stop it before it’s too late.
Mary Ann Little identifies the early warning signs that can result in a full-blown narcissistic disorder in adulthood and explores what nurtures a child’s healthy, realistic self-concept. The book provides a positive model of love and relationships.
Based on the latest research and theory, Childhood Narcissism also identifies four parent types that promote narcissistic development. By recognising these traits in themselves, parents can work on their own shortcomings to build a stronger family and raise caring, empathetic children.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Reviews praise the book as a comprehensive and thoughtful resource for understanding and intervening in the development of narcissistic traits in youths. Critics note its blend of clinical insight and research, with useful examples and clear explanations of complex concepts. It is highlighted for offering many practical strategies rather than quick fixes, making it valuable for parents and professionals seeking detailed guidance. The book is commended as a rare and welcome contribution to parenting literature on this important topic.
