Psychologist’s advice about how not to raise a child as a selfish person

12.02.2024 08:05

In the race for new achievements, we forget some crucial issues that make children happy and childhood joyful. How to keep the balance? How to avoid losing trusting relationships in the family and bring up a harmonious person? These and other questions we asked school psychologist Anastasia Andreevna Novoselova.

Friends, we open a new column- "The most frequent questions to the child psychologist". And we will be pleased to receive feedback.

Our column starts with the question- "How not to raise a child as an egoist?"

Here, the question is not only about selfishness but the cultivation of love in children. What is love? We can not touch it but can only see and feel it through actions. Sometimes, children growing up even in families with brothers and sisters, become little egoists. They stop sharing, and there is a constant "It's all for me!", "mine!", "I won't give it!". One thing when is the delimitation of their own space, and another - is greed. To instil love and screen out excessive selfishness, you can teach a child to give gifts. Preferably, the gifts should be made by the child.

You can bake biscuits together, decorate them, and then ask them to choose the most beautiful ones. Offer to take the gift to a kindergarten or school and treat the teacher, the guys.

Make cards together with your child and give them to friends at the daycare centre.

On the day of a relative's or friend's birthday, go to the shop with your child and ask him to choose a gift himself. It means that the child will choose what he would like to receive himself.

Through such actions and exercises, we give the understanding that by loving, we offer what is valuable to us unselfishly.
