Why do parents show favoritism with their children?
Question: For those of us that are parents, we know that no child is alike. If a child is different does this mean a parent should love them differently or unfairly? Can parents love conditionally? Should I ask if there a such thing as unconditional human love?
Answers: Parents show favoritism with their children for many different reasons. Sometimes a parent has not been healed from something in their past and they are reminded of that thing when they look at, think about or interact with their child.
If a person doesn't know how to handle their past in a healthy way they will usually cause pain when they are in pain. Hurt people can hurt people.
It is unfortunate for the child because now they are being scarred by a scarred parent.
Unconditional love is possible but it doesn't always happen naturally. Some of us have to work on it. Sometimes we need help to be able to love unconditionally.
Children need to be loved for the very one that they are. They are unique and individual just like adults. They deserve to be loved just because they exist.
My family doesn't do that they love everybody the same !!
sometimes parents inadvertently show favoritism. of course parents are supposed to love their children equally and unconditionally. but as you said, no child is alike. so just as you have a best friend among your group of friends. you may have one favorite child. although hopefully you're not being unfair to your other kids.
wow pro found There is unconditional love but every one is different in a way. so just relax and things will work out.
No however different kids have different needs.Yes. Yes there is. It takes practice. Peace.
there are some kids that need to be loved in a different way and sometimes it causes the other kids to think they are missing out on some of that love. you need to be patient and understanding. let your parents know how you feel.
i have a child with autsim. thank GOD its only aspergers syndrome, which is a higher learning form of autism. my son at least can tell me he loves me and is able to do a lot of different things, however, he has to have special routines or he feels -- slighted -- and unfortunately i have to give more attention to him at times because he requires it. and yes my other two sometimes feel left out. its a fact of life -- i do not love my one child more than the other two -- but sometimes he has a need for me to give more of my time to him. he has to have the constant reassurances that he is a-ok.
To tell you the truth...yes, although they would NEVER admit it.
I've noticed that my parents somewhat favor me rather than my younger sister.
Not in a bad way though, since I'm the older one I get more responsibilities and all that, also including on how educationally, parents would notice the older child more, since they would be successful in something completely new and difficult .
Once the younger sibling(s) come up with their own unique dreams, they'll all be favored equally from the parents.
