While some would argue that children are born selfish, others say it’s a learned behavior. Whatever you think, let’s all agree that selfish children need to be broken of their bad habits. Selfishness is when an individual thinks of themselves first and foremost. These people are much more concerned about their own personal gain than the needs of anyone around them.

And given that many parents were not taught how to sew, the pool from which to choose a sewing mentor is likely very small for kids.
