Seeds of Self-Preservation Bias
It caught us by surprise as we stood there watching both Ali and Ibrahim screaming over something. It was hard to identify what they were pulling from one another in a room full of scattered toys.
As we got closer, we inspected the situation and saw it was Ali’s toy that Ibrahim was snatching. Both mothers pulled their kids away, but Ibrahim’s mother insisted that Ali let him have the toy. Ali, who was just 3 years old, was asked to give away something he loved, his eyes full of tears and his screams reaching the sky. Ali’s mother gently told him to give it away, saying, “Allah loves those who share.” Meanwhile, Ibrahim’s mother gave him the notion that he can have whatever he asks for, even if it breaks someone else’s heart.
The first ten years of a child’s life are crucial, as parents must consciously hold their child accountable for their actions by telling them that their decisions can either help someone or hurt someone.
In early childhood, situations like toy disputes can reveal the roots of self-preservation bias, the tendency to act, think, or make decisions mainly to protect one’s own interests, comfort, or survival, even if it comes at the cost of fairness, truth, or others wellbeing.
A child who is given entitlement from an early age grows up to manipulate and abuse others, disrupting lives and relationships.
