Selfishness is one thing we all hate, and will not want to see such behavior in our kids.

A lot of these kids are spoilt kids where they easily have access to whatever they want, and so some blame can be left on the doorstep of the parents.

But that is not something to worry about right now.

In this brief write-up, I will be disclosing some strategies to help parents in correcting selfish behaviors in a child;

1. Talk to them;

If you see your child exhibit selfish behavior, one of the best ways to correct him is to call him to the side and talk to him. Ask him to put himself in such a situation and see if he will be pleased with it; as you can guess, he wouldn't like the idea that such a thing should be done to him.

2. Role play;

Another way about this situation is letting him experience things himself. If, for example, he has two candies whiles his brother has non and he is not willing to share, next time, buy a lot of goodies for that brother and sit to watch.

When he comes in to ask for some of what his brother is having, step in and say ''No.''

From there, you can talk to him, asking him how he feels and then explaining to him that his brother also felt the same way when he refused to share.

Since he got a first-hand experience of the situation, it will go a long way in helping him to become less selfish.

3. Volunteer together;

Another great way of helping your child become less selfish is by taking him to where the less privileged, like the homeless and ill people, are.

This will open their eyes to see how the world really is, and that will go on to influence his life, prompting him to change for the better.

4. Praise generosity;

Make it a big deal if any of your child does something generous and praise him or reward him if you can but keep on bringing that up the slightest opportunity you get.

The child who is being praised will be encouraged to keep up that behavior, and his siblings will also get the message.

I hope these tips go a long way in helping correct the selfish behavior of your child.
