“Not a quick how-to, this is for the parent, clinician, or caregiver seeking in-depth information and guidance.”—BooklistNotice the signs of narcissism in your child and act to curb them before it’s too lateRaising 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 behavior can take root in a child and shows parents how to stop it. 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 and 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 recognizing these traits in themselves, parents can work on their own shortcomings to build a stronger family and raise caring, empathetic children.

Based on a review of the literature and her own decades-long clinical experience, clinical psychologist Little posits that although narcissism cannot be diagnosed until the end of adolescence, early identification of narcissistic tendencies in children and teens can give parents the opportunity to intervene and support positive emotional development. Billed as “a guide to preventing narcissistic development before it begins,” this book provides an understanding of the big picture of narcissism and the various ways it presents, then offers a multitude of practical strategies for concerned parents. Frequent use of examples, charts, and lists of takeaways helps clarify more complicated concepts, and notes and an extensive bibliography provide an avenue for further study. Not a quick how-to, this is for the parent, clinician, or caregiver seeking in-depth information and guidance. This topic is not well covered in parenting literature, which will make it a welcome addition to most collections.
