Preference between children … a fact that is silent and a test that reveals mothers’ awareness

• Do you find yourself spending a longer individual time with one of the children?

• Is it more impatient or tolerant with his mistakes compared to his brothers?

• Do you compare your children to each other, positively or negatively, even out of encouragement?

• When making family decisions, do you often tend to take into account the preferences of a particular child?

• Do you feel a stronger emotional association with one of them because it resembles you more or because it is the smallest?

• Do you praise or defend someone more than others in the presence of the family?

• Do you have small secrets, tales or special jokes that you share with one of the children without others?

If your answers are “yes” in most of the questions, you may have an emotional tendency towards one of the children, and you are required to balance your feelings and behavior.
But if your answers are “no”, you are keen on justice, but the important thing is that every son and daughter feel that on the ground.

Modern research proves that children’s feeling of inequality may leave its psychological impact for many years, and leads to anxiety and depression even after puberty. Therefore, experts advise mothers to:
– Acknowledging feelings without guilt
– Allocating an individual time for each child
Refrain from comparisons
– Show justice with daily actions

Consciousness is half of the solution, and love in the heart of the mother can accommodate everyone.
