i have 6 kids. my husband and i do our best to treat them the same, but of course, they are
different individuals with different attitudes and characteristics. while all of them, have been wonderful to us, some have been subjected to more disciplinary measures than the others. how do you avoid playing favorites with your brood?

Hi, i have 4 kids. We try not to play favorite but yet sometimes there is a kid that you get along with better or whatever. But we love them all the same, but like you said they all are different. My daughter has a specail place in my heart, she did before but now that she is gone it is hard. She been in heaven for 3 years now, i think her being the olny girl was why we favored her when she was here. Now my boys are 14 12 and 5. The 5 year old we adopted and since he is so much younger then the others he is close to us.I dont think you can help haveing least one child that you feel specail to but you love all your children just the same.

Never ever express (keep in mind) your favourites. All children are equal for the mother. Some may be naughty, some may be useless, some may be disastrous, some may be lagging behind in studies, some may turnout to be rotton apples, but for mother all are same. Never ever show the discrimination. Try and do more spoon feeding for one lagging behind, give more lectures (without comparing with other children) to the one who needs to be told each time. The minds of the children are like flowers blossoming and you should not put in their mind some bad feeling that they have been neglected and no priorities are given.
