In short, there is a chance, yes. HOWEVER, you can nip these behavioral traits in the bud.
The Washington Post found that parents who “overvalue” their kids—make them feel like they are more special than everyone else—are more likely to raise narcissistic children. Do not panic yet! You can interfere with these poor traits passing along to your littles.
The Social Learning Theory, or the Social Cognitive Theory, is a theory that best expresses the link between what children witness to how they view the world.
As we learn from our peers, parents, siblings, teachers, neighbors, etc., we mimic what we observe. Studies conducted to prove this theory was affirmed as the findings revealed that yes, children do indeed learn narcissism from a parent.
To break the spell of your children believing they are more entitled and superior to others, focus on raising your children with empathy and sympathy. Encourage them to be kind and be sure to give them one-on-one attention so they feel valued.
When children feel seen and heard, they create more compassion and empathy for others as they have a good relationship with themselves.
