A study of how preschoolers express selfishness, and what it reveals about early social development.
This nonfiction work examines how preschool children show selfish behavior in a nursery school setting. It compares two groups and tracks when and how often selfish actions occur, from free play to quiet times. The book presents observed patterns, including who is targeted, how actions are verbalized or physical, and which moments see the most self-centered behavior. It offers insight into early social responsibility and the influence of home and environment on young children.
Using a structured approach to observation, the text links everyday classroom routines to the growth of self-awareness and social awareness. Readers will see how early experiences shape cooperation, sharing, and consideration for others, all framed by data and analysis from multiple schools.
- Learn how often overt selfishness appears during different parts of the day, especially free play
- See how verbal and physical expressions pair together or separately
- Explore how factors like home background relate to behavior toward peers
Ideal for educators and researchers interested in early character formation and classroom dynamics.
