NEWS FOR YOU
Holy Cross Lutheran School

To Christian Parents
John Juern
Narcissism

Narcissism is defeated when parents teach their children about Jesus’ love for them. In the self-sacrificing love of their Savior, children have the perfect model to follow. As children learn of Jesus’ love, they need to be taught how they can return that love. Parents teach love as it is based in real actions. As Paul outlined, "Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus" (Colossians3:17).

Parents also need to train their children not to be self-centered. Children have to be taught to help others and to show concern for all. As parents model selfless love and demonstrate their concern for others, children learn a valuable lesson. On the other hand, parents foster self-centeredness by overindulging their children or continually protecting them from experiencing the consequences of their bad choices.

How tragic it is to spend a lifetime thinking only of oneself! How wonderful it is to live life for Christ by caring about others!
