Narcissist as a Child

eBook Title: The Narcissist as a Child: Origins of a Fragmented Self

eBook Description:

Every narcissist was once a child—often one who experienced deep emotional wounds, neglect, or unrealistic expectations. But how does a child become a narcissist?

The Narcissist as a Child explores the developmental roots of narcissistic personality traits, tracing the early emotional injuries and environmental factors that contribute to the creation of the narcissistic false self. This book provides compassionate yet clear insight into how a child’s unmet needs, trauma, or overindulgence can lead to a lifetime of dysfunction.

In this guide, you'll learn:

• The role of childhood trauma and emotional neglect in narcissistic development

• The difference between healthy self-esteem and pathological self-importance

• How parenting styles—such as overvaluation, conditional love, or enmeshment—play a role

• Early warning signs of narcissistic traits in children

• How awareness, boundaries, and early intervention can help reshape the future

Whether you're a parent, educator, survivor, or mental health professional, this book offers a valuable lens into the earliest roots of narcissism—and how healing begins.
