Jealousy/attention seeking DEFINITION
Almost every child will experience jealousy at some point. Some kids might be jealous of siblings or friends and others could become jealous of time you spend with your friends or partner. No matter the cause of your child's jealous feelings, it's important to work through them so she learns how to handle the little green monster in an appropriate, healthy way.
1 Causes
Kids experience jealousy for many reasons and uncovering the root of the emotion will help you sort through those feelings with your child.
• A new baby who gets much of your attention can cause siblings to feel jealous.
• Other kids' possessions or talents are another common trigger.
• Kids of divorced parents are sometimes jealous about the time spent with a new boyfriend or girlfriend.
• Some kidsmight experience jealousy over a friend's fun vacation, award or grade they wanted.
2 Negative behaviours If you suspect the child might be feeling jealous, there are several signs to watch out for:
• He expresses anger if a friend or sibling gets to attend an event that he doesn't. • He might tell lies or destroy things as a way to seek revenge. • A child might also bully, tease or be mean to other kids if he's jealous of them. • Jealousy can also manifest in less aggressive ways: Your child might be sad, depressed or withdrawn, but could also become clingy, rude or demanding.
jealousy noun \’je-lә-së\ 1. an unhappy or angry feeling of wanting to have what someone else has 2. an unhappy or angry feeling caused by the belief that someone you love (such as your husband or wife) likes or is liked by someone else
