Don't Compare Your Children

Each child is unique and wonderful in their own way. Each human being comes with their own blueprint of talents and skills, and as parents embrace their individuality and special talents their children can blossom into the people they came here to be.
The worst thing you can do to your children is to compare them with their siblings or others outside of the family. The fallout is not measurable. This kind of treatment can cause intense sibling rivalry, depression, anger, and a drop in self esteem because they do not feel good enough.
Give each child the gift of loving their uniqueness and seeing them for who they are. If you are having trouble with one of your children, admit it and get the help you need to cope with the situation. You are the adult and you must be the one to fix the problem.
