Narcissistic

Narcissistic traits in children and adolescents may include an inflated sense of self-importance, need for admiration, and lack of empathy. While a formal diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder is not typically made until adulthood, these traits can emerge earlier and impact social relationships and emotional development. Interventions for youth with narcissistic traits often focus on developing empathy, emotional regulation, and healthy self-esteem.
