PII 147: Narcissists Can Harm Those They Live With – Especially Children [What You Need to Know]

I’ve recently begun writing about Narcissism and how a Narcissistic person can cause great damage to others – especially his/her intimate partner and more importantly, ANY kids they have to parent.

Read PII 142: Ideas for Unmasking and Dealing With Narcissists Anywhere, Anytime [Featuring “Inside the narcissist’s wicked mind and their make-believe world of illusions” – from HigherPerspectivesDotCom]

In fact the damage a Narcissistic parent can do to a kid, which I have seen firsthand, can be quite serious – which is why I’ve chosen to draw attention to it.

PII 147: Narcissists Can Harm Those They Live With – Especially Children [What You Need to Know]

I’ve recently begun writing about Narcissism and how a Narcissistic person can cause great damage to others – especially his/her intimate partner and more importantly, ANY kids they have to parent.

Read PII 142: Ideas for Unmasking and Dealing With Narcissists Anywhere, Anytime [Featuring “Inside the narcissist’s wicked mind and their make-believe world of illusions” – from HigherPerspectivesDotCom]

In fact the damage a Narcissistic parent can do to a kid, which I have seen firsthand, can be quite serious – which is why I’ve chosen to draw attention to it.

Sadly, Most of Those Responsible for Social Work Are Clueless About Narcissism – Yet The Words /Actions of Narcissistic Persons Often Influences Their Decision Making In Working With Such Person’s Families!

My resolve to do this stems from a scary discovery I have made, that MANY supposed experts/professionals/social workers I have come across out here seem to be completely unaware of what that serious personality disorder is, how to identify it in a person, and the damage such a person can do to those s/he relates within the home.

Their gross ignorance causes them to miss valuable opportunities to STOP the (often emotional/psychological) abuse being visited by a Narcissist particularly on the kids they parent – and also on the partners they co-parent them with (who they sometimes subject to Parental Alienation).

[NB: I argue, in a separate article to be published soon, that if a person is correctly assessed to be Narcissistic, if s/he decides to have kids, the case could be made for his/her parenting of such kids to be closely monitored to prevent possible harm to them.]

====

Title: The Real Effect of Narcissistic Parenting on Children [Narcissists raise children who suffer from crippling self-doubt.]

Why does it matter if a parent is a narcissist? How does that hurt a child? You may be asking these questions if you are a person co-parenting with a narcissistic ex; someone raised by a narcissistic parent; one who is in a relationship with a narcissist; or maybe a divorce professional working on a case that involves a narcissistic parent. Given my research and clinical experience, I want to provide some education and awareness about how this disorder hurts children.

Author: Karyl McBride Ph.D. | The Legacy of Distorted Love

narcissist-real

I say the above from VERY personal experience with Narcissists in my relationship with a co-parenting Narcissistic partner and also as an offspring to a Narcissistic parent.

Neither of those experiences is one that I wish on my worst enemy (if I had anyone I thought of in that manner).

The Most Dangerous Tendency Narcissists Have Is Their Pathological Lying & Penchant for Re-Writing Your Real Life History to Suit Themselves

In other words, they tell cold blooded, brazen lies to your face, about what they did to you, as well as what happened between you and them, in ways that benefit them at your expense (making you look bad).

=========
The article previewed/linked below highlights a dilemma that a person in dispute with a Narcissistic partner is likely to face.
=========

Title: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SOMEONE LIES UNDER OATH

Preview: The opposing party started making wild accusations. She said I had been abusive. She said I was unsafe with our children. She said I took money. My ex-wife was literally re-writing our history and lying under oath.

How can I disprove something that never happened? Do judges really believe wild accusations with no proof? The worst part is that my soon to be ex-wife would take an event that actually happened and turn it into something it wasn’t. If we went to a family get together and the adults were drinking, now she was saying everyone was fall down drunk.

She is telling the kids I’m an alcoholic, and since they have seen me drink, they believe her. This is the worst sort of deception. What can I do?

lie-oath
===

Not everyone can deal effectively with this kind of behaviour. Especially since Narcissists do what they do without remorse.

They simply have no capacity to feel for others. That’s why they speak and act without consideration for their impact on those they relate with.

Like I have said in the past, they have close to zero Emotional Intelligence. This makes them toxic – persons one would be better off not staying in prolonged contact with.

Imagine the challenge therefore, that persons who have to live with them – especially kids that have to be parented by them! – will face every single day.

And this is why I feel this is driven to share as much information and education about Narcissists, to enable others use self-education to empower themselves towards handling such persons they have to deal with in their lives,

This is more so as it relates to protecting kids from serious emotional damage that could stunt their development into healthy functioning adults.

The Narcissist and His Lies: How They’re Different [The psychology of deception and the narcissist’s skillful mirages]

I knew that he and I had a different relationship to the truth but I didn’t really understand it. We joked about it—how I was a moralist and he was more of a relativist—but I didn’t get what motivated him. Because he had been a lawyer for over thirty years, I chalked it up to the hidden costs of his profession—that peculiar zone that resides between truth and what might be true.

The articles previewed/linked in the body of this write-up are the latest in the series of recommended pieces I will feature on this theme.

At the risk of stating the obvious, Domestic Violence can be physical, verbal, as well as emotional/psychological.

The non-physical dimensions are the kind that readily occurs when a Narcissist is involved. Indeed, it is practically impossible for a Narcissist NOT to be abusive. In other words, they subject those around them to DV frequently through verbal, emotional/psychological means.

This is why those who have to relate with them need all the help they can get, to handle them effectively.

Prospective Attendee Asks: (Is it) really possible to write and run programs in MS Excel environment?

Below is a screenshot of website contact form submission by a prospective attendee (and club member) of my forthcoming 4 Hour Training titled How to Use MS Excel Visual Basic to Build Custom Commercial Software You can Sell [BASIC INTRODUCTION]

In this post I share the response I just sent to the question he ended his submission with, which read as follows:

“(Is it) really possible to write and run programs in Ms Excel environment?

jude

My response was to send him links to 2 of my most popular pre-built commercial Excel-VB software, which I have sold to buyers in and out of Africa for YEARS.

For now, a response to your question about running programs in MS Excel. I suggest you visit the 2 links to sales pages (for 2 of my most popular products) supplied in the event Speaker Sheet I sent out (see below):

 

LEARN MORE:  What is Excel-VB?

Preview: Microsoft Excel is a powerful tool for recording, re-organising, analysing and presenting information. By Excel VB, I refer to Excel VBA – where VBA means Visual Basic for Applications(VBA). VBA refers to the highly extensive and flexible macro programming language developed by Microsoft for use in their MS office applications – Word, Power Point, etc.

VBA is therefore different from the Standalone Visual Basic program used(by conventional programmers) for developing “standalone” or “executable” (.exe) software applications – though it borrows many of the latter’s features.

EXPERT WHO SPEAKS: Know Your Worth. Resolve to Get It

As an authentic entrepreneur, I have paid my dues for well over a decade LEARNING the theory and practice of the various solutions I provider.

The client base I boast, comprises over 80% experts in their own right, who have maintained relationships with me for YEARS after making their first ever purchase from me.

It therefore goes without saying that I have proven myself capable of delivering what I promise, to clients’ satisfaction. That effectively makes me an AUTHORITY at what I do -and I refuse to be shy in stating that fact, or asserting myself based on it.

Read: Master Salesmen Use Smart Ideas to Sell. Ordinary Salesmen Don’t! [TIP: Be a Master Salesman – Experience Based Ideas from a Master Salesman]!

If I want to share what I know for FREE, I RESERVE the exclusive right to decide WHERE to do so, WHY I do so.

For instance, to make it easy for any persons trying to make up their minds, I recently published a blog in which I mentioned a FREE talk I offer on entrepreneurship. The others are PAID.

If I want to teach others how to get paid for what they know, it makes sense that I should DEMONSTRATE that I do it myself.

Below is an excellent tweet on this theme, that resonates with me -for obvious reasons.

unpaid-speaker-request

The author rightly notes that he has unique insights to share and the requesting organisation is charging attendees BIG money but offers to pay HIM, the speaker they are inviting, NOTHING.

Like I always say, YOU NEED TO KNOW WHEN TO SAY NO!

If you are an expert, take a cue from what I’ve said here.

Know your worth. Resolve to get it.

In the long run, you WILL be glad you did.

PII 144: Outline of Multiple Benefits for Attendees of my Paid Speaking Events on Entrepreneurship

With the exception of my speaking event on Using Pineapple Peels to Make Drinks You Can Sell, which is ALWAYS FREE ALL my other speaking events are provided for a moderate fee that I communicate to the Event Planner/Decision Makers.

My goal is to make attendees of my events learn what will REALLY boost their chances of success.

Below is an outline of multiple benefits attendees will gain access to IN ADDITION to what they hear me say.

1. I Offer Information Products Describing Viable Business Ideas They Can Launch

I personally conduct interviews with established individuals in key fields and publish. The idea is to enable attendees explore ways to start-up with minimal funds. It’s often best to test the waters of entrepreneurship, with low capital overheads business ideas, to retain worthwhile profits.

Attendees will be grateful to have this kind of useful resource – because it will save the money!

2. I Offer Information Products Describing Guiding Philosophies They Need for Entrepreneurial Success

Most retirees or first time start-ups RARELY know many non-technical requirements for business success. Very few trainers talk about it. Attendees just learn the technicalities of the business. And then they launch out.

But they often lack the mental attitude to make it – especially when things get tough (which is often)!

I provide attendees a reliable reference document they can consult to draw inspiration, and ideas, to cope with INEVITABLE adversity in business can help them keep going till they succeed.

Example: My 80 page “Entrepreneur’s Survival Reference Manual” – Written in 2004
I wrote this “manual” originally for myself. I used to read and re-read it to remind myself to retain the right mental attitude in spite of great setbacks.

Later, I began offering it for sale (spiral bound and photocopied). A FREE 4 hour workshop is announced on the cover. See www.tinyurl.com/tks25mistakes

25 Avoidable Mistakes No One Will Warn You About In Starting Your OWN Business – in Nigeria.

3. I Provide a Business Start-Up Support Service for Your Attendees Post-Event

a. I can prepare feasibility study packs for intending start-ups or prospective retirees. And I will offer to help them work through it to implementation.

b. My talk can be prepared to highlight key factors that can prevent start-ups from succeeding in their local environment. I will actually investigate their real life socio-economic environment, to verify what’s worked.

c. I can Setup an Entrepreneur Support Network for Start-Ups for attendees. This goes beyond the learning event proper. I am convinced it’s a crucially important requirement.

I can Setup a coaching support network for attendees who (after attending my speaking event) decide to start their own enterprises. I ALWAYS have an emotional investment in my attendees, hence this opportunity is offered a zero cost.

I strongly believe entrepreneurship learning events MUST offer attendees an opportunity to get long term support and coaching, from competent experts. The journey to success is rarely a short one. I aim to make a massive difference in people’s lives, by being accessible post-learning-events, for the long term – even if only via phone or email.

The idea is to help attendees through the start-up phase, till they can stand on their own. I’ve seen enough for well over a decade of my OWN experiences, to know this is so important.

PII 143: Commandment No. 9: You Shall Make As Many People As Possible TALK About You [10 Commandments of Web Marketing for Business Success] – FREE PDF DOWNLOAD + LIVE TALK OFFER

By finding creative ways to incorporate elements from virtually every area of society you have interest in, into your marketing content, you will dramatically boost your chances of drawing potential buyers, who would otherwise have missed you, into your “world.

That way they’ll discover you have something that can help them. That was exactly what happened with the diplomat I met at the Nigerian embassy (see the photo/true story in the article linked on the next page).

I did not go there to market my Excel-VB software or my Web Marketing service. But in the process of showing my Pineapple Peel Drinks and cakes, to him and others at the embassy, we got talking and he learnt from asking what else I did, that I offered those solutions!

Your WMS (Web Marketing System), if developed and implemented the way I recommend, will get you noticed by persons fitting your target audience profile.

That does not however mean they will choose to talk about you to anyone. Indeed, my experiences indicate that lots of them will simply take action to connect with you, to get what they want e.g. the solution you offer.

You will have to go the extra mile to give them reasons to talk about you to others. In other words, getting people to talk about you is easier said than done.

This is especially as it relates to getting them to say something that boosts your name/brand recognition and credibility, thereby increasing potential selling opportunities for you.

In this 9th commandment, I offer experience based ideas you can use, and explain how to tweak them for optimal results.

[RECOMMENDED] Why are Nigerians fleeing Nigeria? – Quora.com responder says “Nigeria is the land of cunning people. I can’t cope because I have no cunning bone in me”.

This Quora contributor’s additional responses to the question of “Why Nigerians are fleeing Nigeria” perfectly captured my sentiments – especially number 2:

“Nigeria is the land of cunning people. I can’t cope because I have no cunning bone in me”.

In addition, the points made by 2 other contributors, one of who still lives in Nigeria (and therefore should know), are in agreement with the views I’ve expressed about the country’s future prospects.

It’s sad, but true. Unless a miracle of unprecedented proportions happens, there is NO HOPE for Nigeria or those who live in it.

In other words, I honestly do not believe they simply can ever change, for the better.

PII 140: True Story – “Tayo Solagbade – Steroid Man” [Authentic Success Leaves a Trail – 3 Key Attributes You Need to Achieve It]

This week, I share a verbatim reproduction of a “news report” that was “published” on notice boards about me at the end of my final undergraduate year, by a member of the PRESS team in my university campus hall of residence. This was after I’d led the hall’s Handball team to a first ever victory at the 1992 edition of the University of Ibadan’s Annual Inter-Halls competition.

Now this may appear self-serving, but my ultimate purpose for reproducing this piece (see photo below of photocopied version I obtained before leaving campus) is really to highlight key attributes I possessed back then, which helped me succeed.

Examples:

  1. works like a “steroid user”
  2. resilient attitude
  3. determined to hit the top, trained extra hard

tks-flow-report

Examples:

  1. works like a “steroid user”
  2. resilient attitude
  3. determined to hit the top, trained extra hard

The above were what the author commended me for in that report, and they have since helped me succeed repeatedly in every other area of endavour I have ever ventured, since leaving the university.

My message therefore is for YOU to understand that not only does authentic success leave a trail, but that achieving IT it in ANY field, will often require that YOU develop and actively use similar attributes.

====Start of 1992 News Report published on Independence Hall’s Notice Board=====

TAYO SOLAGBADE – STEROID MAN

[NB: U.I. = University of Ibadan]

He was once summoned by the Chief Coach of U.I (Handball) for drug test, but it was all a joke. Yes, he works like a steroid user, he is a final year Agricultural Extension “first class level” student, Abeokuta indigene of Ogun state. He is of the twenties bracket, a demagogue, pedant, patriot, agnostic, a primus-inter-pares, and he is not impious.

This young man, ever since he got admission into this citadel of learning, some five years ago, and out of his love for handball joined the Indy (Independence Hall) Handball team and was consequently invited to join the U.I Handball team (that was in his first year too). From them on, he has been consistent in the team and in his training too.

Due to his resilient attitude (after losing form for some years), and determined to hit the top, trained extra hard in camp, and this attitude towards success of his, earned him the (nickname) – STEROID MAN. His colleagues in camp, due to their laziness (would) not allow him lead any of their training sessions. Watch him in training and you’ll understand!

During the Inter Halls Competition (which Handball is an entry), Indy Hall has participated and never won despite having some U.I. stars amongst them. And this year was about becoming the one of those years until TAYO (SOLAGBADE) being in his final year, and determined to make lifting the cup for Indy a parting gift, and out of sheer determination, assembled some players together for early morning session trainings (constant early morning whistling heard by Independites is by him). This was consistently done for days and the end justified the means, as Kuti Hall was battered, Zik Hall (our terrorist for years) fell into the hands of Tayo (in fact, he scored the fastest, most spectacular “shocking” goal during the Indy-Zik meet) the hall of “LAME” inhabited by “Tedderats” refused to show up for the finals and so Indy won the Handball tournament (the only tournament won during the Inter Halls competition).

U.I Chief Coach Nwosu even commented about the Indy-Zik match saying (quote) “Indy played the match of their lives and Tayo was in his best” unquote.

[Note to reader: See my 2007 article titled “Become A Habitual Peak Performer – Learn How To Get Into Flow Or – The Zone More Frequently” – in which I narrate details of an experience I had while playing that match]

Despite Zik’s delay tactics and importation of Papa (a good player from Lagos), Zik fell. Tayo was seriously “cut-out”, but due to the match plan he had previously, the job was left for Collins, Yomi Oduguwa, Kayode Abbas, Deji, Dicta and Bambo, not forgetting Bammy (Oh he was good), and they had the job perfectly done.

It is my surprise that after years of playing Handball for Indy and U.I., and being the only event won this year, due to the patriotism shown by Tayo (and the dedicated efforts of his colleagues) the Sports Commissioner and Indy exco refused to accord the Indy team its place during the annual dinner, making it a point for all Handballers to boycott the dinner. So that explains why Tayo and his colleagues were absent during award/recognition.

I look forward to a situation whereby Indy Hall exco should not be ingrates (especially Sports Commissioner), by at least making him realize his worth by organizing a send-forth or make sure that of the N30,000 generated by the exco, he is given a parting present.

I learnt he may come back for his Masters programme. By then Awo or Balewa should be watched out for. With him leaving us now (and maybe “as I heard” his eventually playing International/professional) Collins will now be bestowed the opportunity of seeing Tayo’s pet to constant fruition and maturity. Bammy too is not left out. Handball is now gaining prominence, being world’s second fastest game. TAYO (SOLAGBADE), Indy Press wishes you the best in your future endeavours. BRAVO.

[BPP] This 2016 Viral Video Sues “School” for Killing Creativity, Individuality and being Intellectually Abusive

[NB: BPP = Best Practice Parenting]

This 2016 viral video (Over 10 million views & 25k comments between YouTube and Facebook in its first FOUR days!) perfectly captures the essence of the message I’ve been preaching about the SERIOUS FLAWS in our Modern Schooling System that make learners’ exposure to it, insufficient preparation for success achievement.

Click here to download the slideshow

I only watched it for the first time 2 days ago (on 2nd Oct. 2018), but I’ve been pleasantly surprised to find key points, examples, analogies, and illustrations it uses are some of those I discussed in my 2018 published 62 page paper titled “Schooling is a Means to an End, and NOT an End In Itself” and the shorter sequel “Stop Letting Nigerian Schools Cheat You and Your Childe.g the quote about school “making fish climb trees” & references to Finland, Khan Academy, Montessori etc.

Click the link or the thumbnail image of the cover below, to download and read the verbatim text transcript slideshow I’ve prepared/watch the video at the end, to LEARN why you need to DEMAND TOTAL OVERHAUL of the School System.

Published as a Spoken Word Poetic rendition by the rapper Prince EA in 2016, this video boldly calls out the Modern Day Schooling System for its potentially “lethal” negative impact on learners.

This video explains why/how modern day schooling may hurt your child.

The compelling case made against today’s ANTIQUATED schooling system, uses a court room prosecution style against a symbolic representative of the schooling system (as defendant).

If your society refuses (or is slow) to eliminate those negatives, it’s up to you to protect your child from them and provide him/her what is missing from available schooling.

Only persons UN-willing to be objective will fault the arguments presented in this video… and in my White Paper/the sequel to it

Like I’ve repeatedly said in my writing, on this theme, the harmful attributes of our schooling system, coupled with endemic corruption, drove me to (temporarily) withdraw my kids from the system, and develop/implement an alternative educational model, that I call a Vocational Skills Based Educational System.

My adopted approach involves use of a tool I call a “Life Skills Training Matrix” that enables me customize learning for each child, based on his/her unique needs, interests and talents/gifts, so s/he end up with useful competence to succeed in or out of paid employment.

Text me your WhatsApp Number via +234-803-302-1263 (not my WhatsApp no!) and I’ll add you to my Best Practice Parenting™ group where download links to my 62 page White Paper and the 17 page report sequel are accessible.

The Life Skills Training Matrix is a tool I developed to CUSTOMIZE education for EACH of my kids to ensure they actualize their full God given potentials in life by maximizing their unique gifts/talents.

I strongly recommend that other parents adopt a similar approach to ensure their kids get a truly balanced education that equips them to achieve financial and material success, with fulfilment in life.

For those looking for help, I offer a special Best Practice Parenting Coaching program for members of groups and organisations, in which I explain how to design a custom Life Skills Training Matrix for ANY child – or indeed ANY adult…and how to use it.
