7 Ways to Avoid Playing Favorites with Your Kids
5. Praise both children or don’t praise at all
When talking about your kids with other people, make sure you mention the good qualities of both your children or don’t mention them at all. No matter how better one child is more than the other, you being the parent have to take utmost care about the feelings of your children. Always remember that all your children are precious gifts and deserve equal treatment.
6. Don’t compare
The biggest mistake most parents unknowingly make is to compare their children with each other. Every child is gifted with his or her own unique way and you have to realize this. Bite your tongue each time you compare or are about to compare them to their sibling or any other kid.
7. Hear both sides of the story properly
While one child may always be the mischievous one getting intro trouble, it doesn’t mean you instantly put the blame of a fight ensuing among the siblings on him or her. You have to make sure that in an argumentative scenario, you always hear out both sides thoroughly and only then make your conclusion about who is at fault.
