What parents are discussing...

15-year-old Aditi's mother sat confused across the school principal's table. What led her to attract the attention of the boys so desperatelyNULL Priya, her sister did no such thing even though she was prettier. She was advised to meet a counselor. Aditi recalled that when she was 6 and her sister 8, both of them got gifts of similar frocks. Aditi in her excitement wrote a small thank you poem for her parents. The 2 sisters came out wearing their new frocks. Even before Aditi could give the poem to her mother, she heard her mother exclaim, -Oh Priya, you look like a princess, you'll get the most handsome prince. Their father as if in agreement kissed Priya. Aditi waited for her turn to be complimented but it never came. She threw the poem in the bin and never wrote it again! She started doing every possible thing to pull her sister down-she made up complaints about her to the teachers, tried to spoil her friendships. And when she entered her teens, her behavior with the opposite sex was becoming an area of concern for all. WHY DID THIS HAPPENNULL 1: Comparison makes a child feel inferior. 2: Comparison can kill talent 3: Comparison leads to an indifferent attitude 4: Comparison leads to unhealthy rivalry between siblings. What could have been a special friendship between sisters of the same age group was turning into unhealthy rivalry. 5: Parents should be fair in giving credit Does your child feel inferior when you praise his/her elder sister or brotherNULL What do you do in such a situationNULL Share with us!

Each and every child has their own way of thinking.
Each and every child has their own problems.<...

According to me, the parent should not praise one child in front of the other. And even if he does, then one should also say some words of praise for the other one!...
