When I thought my 4 year old was going to be my one and only, I made sure he had a lot of socialization and always taught him to be nice and sympathetic! So if someone is crying or gets hurt he will immediately go check on them. Also allowing them the space to have feelings and learn to cope with feelings. It’s our job to make sure they have the skills in to be great men
I agree very self centered and without the balance of support and many cousins or play dates they can be self centered as well, I am noticing this with my child however I introduce sharing emotions social engagement with people at the park at school and his parents so he knows how to be social and understand, the world does not revolve around ONLY him lol

Hey! My kiddo turns 4 in a few weeks and it’s the same here. Best advice as I’ve seen her grow like a weed is socialization 😭! They get bored so easily and that’s normal but the more you can get them out to play/learn can help so much with sharing and better social skills! ♥️
