Scions of families like different

Child psychologists call the parent favoritism of one of the major mistakes in education. And yet the vast majority of mothers and fathers in families with several children have a pronounced pets.

For example, British author Jeffrey Kruger, he has two daughters, eight and ten years, wrote in his book about parenting that pets have 95% of all parents. The remaining 5% are lying that do not have them. According to Kruger, mother and, especially, the pope is very difficult to get to treat all children equally. Someone longer meets parental expectations and hopes, and someone like doing something "out of spite." In such a situation it is extremely difficult to maintain impartiality.

Scientists from the University of California recently conducted monitoring of 384 families with many children. They were interested in is the question of parental favoritism . It turned out that quite certain pets have 65% of mothers and 70% of dads. And when you consider that the observations were carried out in the open, and the parents knew that they were being watched (and, therefore, tried to behave "correctly"), the real figures are much higher. Did they approach thus 95% of which said Kruger.

The theme of "Mama's and Papa's pets" active discussion forums for young parents, causing heated debate. Note that both supporters and opponents of this approach themselves readily recall that they were loved by children from their fathers and mothers, or were in the shadow of brothers and sisters. So that favoritism   - A phenomenon that really is a comprehensive scale.
