Why You Should Never Compare Your Children

True words.. useful..

thanks... and nice information....

great information

really a good information

very informative. Thanks for sharing.

That is true! We should never compare two kids. Even my two kids have different likings.. one is talketive abd the other one is quite. Elder one is eXpressive she wants to tell me constantly something and the other wants to observe her. We should focus on the important factors which are beneficial for both..

nice 1.... thanks

Thank you for information, I think we should all stop doing these stupid things.

Very well said.... I really like the information shared in this post.... Thankyou

True.... a lot of people need to stop doing this.

Good one .. True.. Its really difficult to stop ourselves from falling prey to Competitive society.. for me my son progressing in a good way is more important than where he stands relative to other kids of his class..

Thanks to each of you. Am glad you liked the post.

Yes

That is a wonderful tip Namrata.

Thanks Supreeta

Thanks Supreeta

Thanks Rhituparna. Truly mentioned , easier said than done, the comparison between 2 children stems from inherent insecurities of a parent. The society we live in fosters a fiercely competitive environment that we all fall preys to. I try and condition my mind to stop comparing once I highlight on my son's strengths that is rare to find.

I always try to compare my child with his previous behavior or milestone to see his own growth. I avoid comparing him with other children!!

Well said Madhurima! Though easier said than done, the art of judging the child by his/her own parameters is important for a happy parenting experience. I feel, as parents, we often lack knowledge on what are the expected milestones in reality, so compare with other children of the same age ending up in a valueless baseline study... When my daughter was teething late (after a year), I ended up sharing my concern with a stranger having a child of similar age and she said, "Have you seen a child of 5 years without teeth? So they will come when they have to.. " :-))
