[QUOTE="Malika, post: 484679, member: 11227"] My son takes a very egocentric view of things. This is of course partly related to his age - nearly five - and to the fact that he is an only child but I think it's more extreme with him. I have been making a lot of fuss of our dog yesterday and today because she was spayed yesterday and is very under the weather and each time I do so he gets upset and insists that I redirect my attention to him, claiming that he is sick also! I have tried to get him interested in the dog's welfare and, grudgingly and momentarily, he is. This is another of those big questions but... I see this as such a central feature of the difficult child mindset and the one that will do him a great disservice in life. How to enlarge his world view?? Any brilliant ideas gratefully received :) [/QUOTE]
