Selfishness in Youth
Selfishness is one of the major causes of excessive anger, defiant and controlling behaviors and rage in children and in teenagers. In our practice it is the leading cause of the angry behaviors in youth. This selfishness regularly creates serious stress in parents, siblings, peer relationships, schools and communities.
The identification of this conflict is essential, but also challenging, in addressing the excessive anger in children. Unfortunately, too often selfishness is not considered as one of the possible causes of intense anger and defiant behavior in youth. Instead, these children can be misdiagnosed as ADHD because of their impulsivity at times, particularly when they do not get their own way or the attention they desire. Also, the rage associated with selfishness can be so intense that these children can be misdiagnosed as indicating a bipolar disorder. Based on over 35 years of experience in treating excessive anger in children and in adults, selfishness should always be considered when trying to determine the cause of intense anger in youth, especially severe outbursts of anger and defiance.
Fortunately, steps can then be taken to resolve this personality weakness which will be presented in this chapter. The role of parents is crucial in protecting children, families and the culture from the damaging effects of selfishness. In order to do so parents need to embrace a responsible parenting style, rather the highly prevalent and harmful permissive parenting style.
