How to Avoid Raising a Narcissist

Raise your hand if you were told by a parent or guardian that you were special as a child. It’s common praise given to us as kids, but when said too often or without merit, the result could lead to a narcissistic child.

Psyc., MA., RP (Qualifying) at Psychotherapist at Positive Kids, and Kathleen Crowe, Autism Therapist for Southeast Region Autism Services, to gain a better understanding of how narcissism in children develops and how parents can navigate the complexities of raising kids in the modern age.
