Favouritism/Comparism

sonk by sonk Talking(May 2007) (rank 155th)
Hello Parents. I am a mother of two boys and I have come to realize that sometimes I compare. This is wrong because no two children are the same. Even twins are different. Some kids learn quickly whilst others are slow. We need to encourage the slow ones rather than make
them feel they are good for nothing. Secondly parents let us do our best not to love or favour one kid more than the other. This will have a bad effect on the other child who will feel he/she does not measure up to mum's or dad's expectations. Our kids are growing every day and we must make the most of each day. Once that day is gone we can never undo whatever we did on that day. And we will have regrets that we will have to live with for the rest of our lives. Let us therefore cherish each day.

Favouritism/Comparism
Great article
Mine are so totally all different though its hard to mix them up or expect the same behaviour from them
The only thing I do notice is that my youngest is the one who tends to get into trouble the most for obvious reasons but unless you miss it, I've noticed that my 13 year old is usually the one who slyly provokes it!!!!!
