 I am  very  passionate of the roles of families in the development of children.

AVOID FAVOURITISM

To  favour one child over another probably because the child looks more like you or reminds you of a favourite relative, is academically sound, has an easy temperament or is very obedient is utterly outrageous and unacceptable.

Parents need to understand that favouring one child over another (favouritism) is a costly affair. This should never to be encouraged in any form. Its impact on a family can be ruinous. Favouritism impacts both the favoured and non-favoured child negatively. It can occur despite parents’ efforts to remain objective. Consequently, parents should make deliberate effort to avoid favouritism.

Your children are there for you to love and nurture despite their differences. Your responsibility as a parent is to groom your babies into responsible adults. The greatest gift you can give your children is to nurture peace amongst them. Working against favouritism will give you that benefit. Religiously, the Quaran frowns at favouritism, likewise, the Bible tells the story of Jacob which gives us an insight into what favouritism can do to a family.

Remember that you have enough love to go around. Do not embrace one child with all the love except if the child is an only child. If you must show more care to one of your kids probably because of health reasons, explain to the others. Never assume that they should know or understand.

Favouritism breeds sibling rivalry; it breeds animosity. Playing favouritism is always a game that never ends well. You can cause great harm to your family in a seemingly harmless way.
