Episode Overview
- Narcissists use children as a source of validation and attention.
- Their sweetness towards kids is a manipulative tactic, not genuine affection.
- Children are easily controlled, making them prime targets for narcissists.
- As kids grow older and show individuality, narcissists often become cruel.
- Understanding these dynamics can help protect children from emotional harm.
Their love towards the children is conditional and transactional.
Why do narcissists suddenly become sweet and playful around children? In this episode, Danish Bashir, a narcissistic abuse recovery professional, dives deep into this perplexing behaviour. Danish sheds light on why some narcissists appear joyful and bubbly when interacting with young children, leaving many wondering if they have the capacity to love but simply choose not to show it to others.
This episode unpacks the truth behind this façade and explores the manipulative tactics used by narcissists to garner attention and admiration from innocent children. Danish explains that children are a prime source of 'supply' for narcissists because they are easily controlled and manipulated. Kids seek constant attention from their parents, which feeds the narcissist's need for validation. The episode highlights how a narcissist’s charm towards children is not genuine affection but a strategic move to maintain power and control.
Danish shares personal anecdotes and professional insights, making it clear that this behaviour is about manipulation rather than love. Listeners will also learn about the long-term effects of such manipulation on children. As kids grow older and start showing individuality, the narcissist's attitude can shift dramatically, often leading to emotional trauma. Danish shares his own experiences of realising the true nature of his narcissistic parent, offering a relatable perspective for those in similar situations.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone trying to understand the complex dynamics of narcissistic behaviour around children. It provides valuable insights and practical advice on recognising and dealing with these manipulative tactics. So, if you’re looking to make sense of this confusing behaviour and protect your children from emotional harm, this episode is for you.
