[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a bit of this dynamic too made a bit more obvious by the personalities of the same age cousins. Early on I did react and it came off as defensive. It gave my sibling an affirming reaction. Now, I do not show a hint of a reaction to any comments or comparisons. It helps that my kid who was a hellion when younger is clearly more mature, well spoken, etc than his cousin. [b]Living under constant rigidity means the kid won’t talk to you or trust you and being a submissive follower is how kids get in trouble in high school.[/b] [/quote] Op here and I completely agree. Also, DD has friends over a lot and I hear how she speaks to them and I’ve never once heard anything less than kind come out of her mouth. I’d like to think we are doing something right. [/quote]
