[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] As a parent, you should know they probably just wish for neither. Most people don't love their average kid less. But it is harder to find praise for them. Praise does not equal love.[/quote] I don't find it harder to find praise for any of my children. We praise based on effort not on accomplishments, perhaps that's the difference. Yes, that means my academic superstar doesn't actually get as much academic based in-house recognition, because she's doesn't put in the effort that her less academic brother does. It also means my youngest gets a bunch of recognition for his efforts to clean, even though his efforts leave more of a mess than his (more competent but less willing) older siblings.[/quote]
