Your young child has a sense of self-importance from an early age. In the classroom, they are a charismatic leader. They possess a highly developed sense of justice and injustice. Therefore, it’s unwise to either indulge them or, conversely, to suppress them too strongly. They “act out” for attention: their boisterousness and loudness can be calmed by withholding attention. They desire to be liked by everyone, and their pride suffers when this fails.
They usually learn successfully: becoming first in class is not difficult for them, although they are typically lazy and won’t engage in systematic activities without encouragement. There is only one key to them—they are fond of flattery. Understanding parents and teachers usually grasp this quickly, and the child becomes pliable in their hands.
Their energy is best directed toward club activities or caring for younger children. When among peers, they should be well-dressed and not come empty-handed, so they don’t feel inadequate.
