The article discusses how parental affection can vary among children based on temperament and behavior. Dr. Blaise Aguirre suggests that parents tend to feel closer to children who are similar to them in temperament. As a result, emotionally intense children may feel more rejected by parents who prefer easygoing behavior. Parenting styles can change significantly between the first child and later siblings. Additionally, Aguirre highlights how children often remember rejection more vividly than praise, impacting their perception of favoritism. He emphasizes the importance of open dialogue between parents and children to address misunderstandings.
Dr. Blaise Aguirre revealed that parenting preferences can fluctuate due to temperament similarity, with parents often favoring easygoing children over those who are more reactive.
Aguirre explained, 'These relationships are in constant states of flux,' illustrating how parenting approaches can change significantly between first and subsequent children.
He also noted that past memories of rejection can overshadow praise, as 'We tend to remember rejection far more than we remember praise', notably compared to praise received by siblings.
Ultimately, Aguirre emphasized the importance of maintaining open communication, as parents can't control how children interpret their words but can listen to their concerns.
