I always like to do equal for my kids. Except when it comes to food, as my daughter eats less and I don’t give her some of the snacks my son eats. The rest of their lives, I make it as equal as possible. Well it turned out that kids don’t like to be equal, they like to be special.
When I think about it, I felt and feel special because I was the only daughter. I didn’t care if they did equal for my brothers and me, there was and is nobody like me for my parents, and that’s important to me.
I tried to apply this on my kids, show them how special each one of them are. I can’t see the affect of this yet, I guess they are too young to understand it now, specially my daughter. When I hold my son and tell him there is nobody like him for me, and he is very special, he calms down and lets me to hold him for a few minutes. Which is a big deal with him, he never liked to be hugged or held even in his sleep.
I know it’s impossible to do equal for a boy and a girl, as they grow they will have different needs. It is comforting to me knowing that, they will be fine as long as they know how special they are.
Until later,
