Comparing your children

Do you really believe that the second child will always have lesser attention from their parents and hence that would impact their growing up and also their interaction. Iason, my second kid, which is a year younger than Ian do not seem to be as a fast learner as Ian.

My parents used to say that we put all attention at Ian and hence neglected Iason. But of course we deny that and says that different kid will develop differently and hence we should not be comparing kids. Iason and Ian does have very different behaviors towards everything. Due to their small age gap, we tend to treat both the same way and also expect the same behave the same way. But we constantly have to remind ourselves that they are 2 different kids with different needs.

Here is an interesting article on ways/tip to avoid comparing your children when speaking to them.
