Although parents' first reaction is usually to deny (否认) favoring one child over another, most
parents end up admitting that they do it, according to Dr Kenneth Hardy."All parents have favorites, "
he believes.
Hardy said children were often aware of it, too.The kids didn't hesitate to nod when asked whether
their mother favored one."If you ask two children from the same family which one is the favorite and
both point to themselves, there's no problem, " he says."If both kids point one way, you know you
have a problem."
"It seems that she doesn't love me, " Jamie started to say when he was asked if his mother loved
him, and then corrected himself, "She does love me, but she seems to like Chris more." Their mother
said she loved both boys, but sometimes found that Jamie's complaining could make her dislike him."I
don't think with Chris I ever have that same feeling."She also said she found Chris more lovely.
Like the other mothers, Dianne Ely said she felt guilty when she realized how much she was favoring
one of her children.She thought it was just not right to treat her children differently.
Like Jamie, Morgan Johnson is aware that__________in her family."They don't like me that much, "
Morgan said."It doesn't make me feel angry, but it makes me feel sad, "she added.
But_Hardy_said_parents_should_keep_in_mind_that_each_of_their_children_had_good_and_bad
_qualities.The most important thing, Hardy said, was for parents to admit the favoritism."It's not a horrible
thing for a parent to look at herself in the mirror and say, 'You know what, I do like one more than the
other.'I think that's a good sign, and a good healthy first start."
