do u choose a favorite child from your children? do u think it right u are doing that, after all they are your

As a parent to 6 children, I think it is wrong to have a "favorite" - you can "click" more easily with certain children, but all children are good and worthy of equal love and affection, though that love and affection may come out differently with different children.

Each person (child or adult) has a way that specifically speaks love to them... seek out ways to tell each child how much they are loved - seek out their strengths and good deeds and praise them for those things. Encourage in the weaker areas, help encourage them to strengthen weaker areas without belittling... (sometimes easier said than done if it is something that irritates you, but well worth the effort!)

If you look at each child as an individual, not as an extension of siblings, it is easier to love each child as much as their siblings.

Honestly, some children are easier and some are not as easy and some are downright difficult - but they are all worthy of your love and affection. :) Seek out ways to love each child - work at it at first if it doesn't come naturally or easily, and eventually it will be as easy and natural to love each child equally but in ways unique to each child :)

Yes, I do believe it is hurtful to children to be the favorite and to be the "not favorite" - it is harmful on both sides, and can be detrimental to your children's future relationship... It discourages comradery and encourages competition over a parent's love, which isn't healthy for any of the family or their future spouses and children.

I feel like the least favorite and I am 16. It sucks but I know that my mom loves me and would never want to hurt me. If I were a parent, sometimes you can not help but to have a favorite child. Most of the time, the favorite is the one they have less problems with. I wouldn't treat one worse than the other like my mom did but everyone has a favorite something. In a way it is wrong if you are treating the kids differently.

I don't choose a favorite ever. My oldest (13) was afraid the newborn baby would be my favorite because it wasn't my biological child, therefore I would give it more love and attention. That's NOT true and she knows that will never happen. That is the same I don't love my 6, 4 and 2 year old any different. It is all equal.

No, its wrong to have a favorite, and only hurts the other kids. I have 2 (ages 3 and a half, and 5 months)and one on the way. I wont ever at any point play favorites between them they are all my kids and will all be treated and dealt with equally. They will have the same bedtimes,meals,chores,freedoms,and everything else that comes with raising decent productive children!:)

No I love all my children the same I do treat them differently but the age difference is the reason I do not think my 17 yr old would like it if I gave him a bath and put him to bed with his favorite teddy. Some ages require more attention. Do not confuse that as more love. I love both my sons and my step daughter and step son the same they are all my world.

I definately don't think its right to pick favorites in your children because all it does it hurt the least favorite children mentally and make them feel unwanted. Trust me, my dad played favorites between me and my siblings and how funny, they all turned out to be pill poppers and I am the full-time college student. The only kid he had to graduate and go to college. So parents, watch and think before you play favorites, you are only hurting your children and your relationship with them.

The idea of a "favorite" child seems kind of twisted. Even so, there will always be one child they get along with the best. That might make it seem like they have a favorite when they really don't. My parents got along with my sister best, because she got good grades and was involved in all kinds of stuff. They got along terribly with my brother because he was angry at them for moving us to a different city when he was in middle school. As for me, well, I'm the baby. Gotta love me!

I think its wrong to favor 1 child over the rest. I have certain qualities in each of my kids that I love. My eldest is the best communicator. My son is the most affectionate. My youngest is the silliest. I value those qualities, but I don't think 1 of them (or their specialness) is better that another kid. They are all mine and I love them all equally. My mother has a special bond with my eldest and it was very apparent. She's now fixed the issue and its no longer noticable. In my world you treat my kids the same or you don't come around. Kids have enough issues without being jealous of the attention one of them gets. I know who my mother's favorire child and grandchild are. As long as she doesn't favor 1 over the other, I'm ok with it.

I could never pick a favorite. I love my kids the same and they both annoy me the same (lol but moms you know its true) just in different ways. I adore my kids and would never make one feel inferior to the other.

well i hope i dont choose a favorite. I am pragnete with triplets. 2 boys and 1 girl. I think it is wrong :(
