"Our results reveal that whenever handwriting movements are included as a learning strategy, more of the brain gets stimulated, resulting in the formation of more complex neural network connectivity...typewriting do[es] not activate...networks the same way that handwriting does."

[Dr Karen Mitchell PhD @karenmitchell__]

Narcissistic/psychopathic parents often ‘emotionally kidnap’ their children.

That is, they create such an extreme mindset in their children against the other parent, that the children refuse to see the other parent ever again and actively misrepresent the protective parent to others.

The narcissist/psychopath is able to emotionally kidnap the children by:
1. Accusing the other parent of their own nefarious deeds. For example, if the narcissist/psychopath abused the children and had affairs, the narcissist/psychopath accuses the protective parent of abuse and having affairs.
2. Creating extensive and deeply undermining false narrative which undermines the other parent’s legitimacy.
3. Systematically replacing the child’s good memories of the protective parent with experiences in the same locations with themselves.
4. Subtly demeaning the protective parent to the children.
5. Bribes and incentives.
6. Focusing a huge amount of attention on the child and then subtly pulling that away if the child shows any positive feelings towards the protective parent.
7. Manipulating others to talk and negatively about the protective parent to the children.
8. Intimidation and threats.
9. Talking themselves up to the children. Self promotion. Organising to receive awards and then ensuring the children are there to see that.
10. Organising the cessation of the children’s relationships with all friends and relatives of the protective parent unless they can be manipulated.
11. Taking the children to mental health professionals who have been manipulated by the narcissist/psychopath.
12. Orchestrating extreme acts to make the children more dependent on them such as ‘accidentally’ leaving tablets out for a suicidal child (not enough to kill them but enough to get them into hospital) so the child relies more heavily on the narcissist/psychopath and sees them as their saviour.
