Raising empathetic and unselfish young people in today’s “all about me” world might seem impossible, but new parenting approaches help parents recognize narcissistic tendencies and develop parenting practices that can reverse them before they become entrenched.
Read Advance Praise for Childhood Narcissism
“Ground-breaking, unique, brilliant. If you're a parent and you read this book, you can prevent your child from developing the most toxic, dangerous, and all-but-untreatable of any condition in mental health. The best approach—by far—almost never happens, namely to prevent narcissism from sinking its forbidding roots in the first place. In a dazzling display of original thinking, Little explains—in clear and simple words--how to do exactly that.”
—Edward Hallowell, M.D., Harvard Medical School Faculty retired, author of Driven to Distraction among many other books
Dr. Little reminds us of the need for meaningful connection and has worked for decades to foster healthy bonds between parent and child: “Like most things of value, a secure parent-child relationship is neither easily achieved nor always rewarding. Once set, the relationship provides a kind of comfort and certainty that is reassuring and ever-steady, resistant to failure or loss. For the good of all of us, healthy, well-established relationships hold when all other things fail.”
