Hi there,
I have kids and also an XN....
I don't think N's are just born that way...No way...It has to do with their up bringing...not learning certain things,not growing etc...You son I would say just enjoys pushing the boundreies...Like all kids do...some are better at doing it than others....I think that all teenagers have a bit of NPD in them at some stage...It's part of growing...
Have you ever had his IQ tested..My son was very very frusting...would argue just for the sake of it...this was when he was 8 mind you...Fine at school and with other people but a real "shit" when with me...and that was because he was comfy being like that around me...I wasn't going to reject him...It turned out he was bored at school...This was in primary..I always knew he was "different" even as a little one...He is gifted...I got his IQ tested it came back at 157...at the age of 8....He was bored...and needed stimulation...he got it...and he settled down...He is now 16 and a fantastic young man...He is very very acedemic...and has started 3 uni courses while at school....He can still be a "shit" at home....Like all teenagers.....
Try as many options with him as you can...Please Don't think he has NPD....Why would he?Just because his Father does...I'm sorry but I really feel it's to do with your upbringing as a child...I don't think you are just born with it....My thoughts anyway....Good luck... |
