[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most kids go through a bragging phase around 1sr-2nd grade, but most of them are bragging to each other (“I’m the best soccer player on my team” etc). Kids who brag about being smart often brag directly to adults because they’ve gotten positive attention for being precocious and they liked it. It doesn’t mean you’ve necessarily modeled or directly caused it, any more than the braggy soccer player’s parents caused his bragging. (Sometimes? Sure. But mostly it’s just kids being kids.) But it does require direct intervention, teaching, and reminders. https://melindawmoyer.substack.com/p/why-kids-boast-and-brag Along with teaching not bragging, you can teach the replacement behaviors of humility and showing interest in others. [/quote] Thank you, this is very helpful. [/quote]
