[quote=Anonymous]Ugh I hate this! I don’t know if I would continue spending a lot of time with this family (this is immature and inconsiderate behavior from the parents) but if you do, you have to correct the parents and the child gently but firmly. If they say “let’s judge which flower is better” say, directly, “no way, we aren’t doing that. Both flowers will be great” If they are trying at any point to insinuate that there kid is smarter/bigger/faster keep pointing out the obvious- your child is younger so the comparison is not fair. All that said, I wouldn’t feel comfortable hanging out with a family like this even if the kids were the same age. It’s fine if the boys decide to race and one wins but it’s the parents job to support the kids and feeling like they are all doing a good job and that one child isn’t better than the others.[/quote]
