And gifts arent a requirement to have a great birthday, of course.
Sadly, however, some children dont feel that theyre on a level playing field with their siblings.
And some can even admit that they benefited from being shown favoritism.
A third of men who believe that their parents had a favorite say that it was them.
Meanwhile, only 23% of women believe that they were the favored child in their family.
However, only 32% of less-favored children were expected to pursue higher education.
Favoritism in the family unit can also impact how children feel about themselves.
But there can be more dangerous effects as well.
But you could confirm that they frequently have an opportunity to have your undivided attention.
But regardless of what theyre into, be careful not to compare them.
Celebrate all of their successes, and dont push one to be like another.
Dont pressure any of them to be more like you either.
Each child is their own person, after all!
