How Do Narcissistic People Treat Their Children?

Growing up with narcissistic parents is certainly no easy feat, because, let's face it, people with this disorder are unsympathetic, selfish, manipulative, egotistical, and dishonest, yes, that's right, these traits aren't exactly those showcased by the parents of the year.

What Is Separation Anxiety

Separation anxiety is defined as the intense fear or worry of being away from the person we are most attached to.

How Can We Reduce Stress In Children?

Mood changes, sleep disturbances, refusal to go to school, boredom or even withdrawal... Even if your child can’t describe what’s going on, many symptoms can reveal a state of anxiety deep within them. When your child is worried, helping him or her to deal with these strange and almost alien emotions can quickly become challenging for us as parents. The question is, how can you reduce this stress? How can you relieve it? Here are the answers to these questions.

Stop Comparing Your Children

Yes, it’s only natural to make comparisons between the eldest child and their siblings! Yet, every child is unique and develops at their own pace, with their own emotions, abilities, and personality.

In short, it isn't a competition, and some children feel devalued and rejected by such a behavior, so, beware of comparisons!

But why is this decision to have just one child perceived so badly? Let’s find out.

I Don't Want Kids

For women the expectations are still numerous, and if there is one question in particular that we hear more than any other. I bet you can guess it. Of course, THAT million-dollar question is; ‘when do you plan on having children?’ Even today, in lots of people’s minds, a woman still has to become a mom and if she doesn't want to, she will have to find concrete arguments to justify her decision. It’s time we said stop to this pressure and followed our own dreams instead of forcing ourselves to live up to expectations imposed on us.
