Dr. Tori Cordiano, Director of Research, Laurel School's Center for Research on Girls, was included in a Mom Squad piece on WKYC about “main character syndrome,” which addresses how kids express themselves with a deep focus on themselves and their inner experience.
Social media plays a big role in this egocentric behavior and is not always limited to kids. Dr. Cordiano says that tapping into a sense of purpose can help counterbalance this egocentrism and can help to teach purpose beyond one's self.
