Mother's Day and it brings to mind about how we parent. We all know our children are
each different. When it comes to raising our children, do you have a favorite, or do you try to treat them all equally? The answer is it probably is very difficult to treat them equally the same way. We interact and communicate differently with each of our children. Their behavior, personality and reactions affect how we treat them. There may be other factors also that complicate how we feel about each of our children. We know they have different needs, and although we may try to treat them all fairly, there may be inequities. It comes down to differences in temperaments and personality between who they are and who we are. It also depends on the developmental stage they are in.
As a parent, it is best to be self aware of our strengths and our flaws so that we can give our children the best of ourselves.
