Are you creating a narcissistic child?

You might be if you “overvalue” your children ages 7 to 11 years rather than treat them with affection and appreciation (to build a core of self-esteem). The no-no is telling your children they’re superior to other children and demonstrating they’re entitled to special treatment. Article includes a well-made 2-minute video showing “5 ways to raise moral, caring children” from Harvard’s Making Caring Common Project.
