Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Is having a favourite child really a bad thing?
Do you know any parent who loves one of their children more than the other(s)? Imagine a situation of a mother who had three children, two daughters, and a boy. Who do you think she loves more than the others? Even if she doesn’t admit it, she may favor the boy simply because he is a boy. Another example. If a father had two boys, one of them shares similar values and the other has totally different interests, who do you think he would prefer spending more time with? Even though most parents don’t admit it, research shows that many do favor one child over other(s). Gender, birth order, interests, similarities, talent, or appearance, to name a few reasons. If so, you may think such favoritism affects their children negatively. Interestingly, however, whether children aren’t good at guessing such favoritism or parents are good at disguising their favoritism, they don’t seem to be affected by parents’ favoritism so much. What about you?
Well, it may not be so much of an issue any longer as more couples tend to have one or no child in developed countries.
Enjoy reading the article and think about parents’ favoritism.
