Boasting as a Signal of Self Esteem in Children
The Iowa Child Welfare Research Station notes that frequent boasting among children often reflects insecurity rather than conceit. Bravado can mask feelings of inferiority or fears about family acceptance, with self praise serving to bolster self esteem. Encouragement and recognition for genuine abilities are advised to curb showy behavior.
