Which is a very interesting stance one can have about parenting. Because when it comes to kids they are basically blank sheets which give you a chance to not only unleash your creativity. But also the anxiety, that one wrong move can do a lot of damage.

In case you have more than one child. It is very important for you to make sure that none of your kids get too much or two less of your affection. Because, in that situation there is mostly a balancing act required. On the other hand it is also very important to be honest with your kids about your circumstances. For example, in case you have two kids and one is older than the other. Then your older child has to understand that the younger one needs more care in that situation. For this you not only need to be honest but also very reassuring. A Parenting mistake a lot of parents might make is assuming that both of their kids are either carbon copies of each other or complete opposites. By doing this they indirectly put pressure on their children to behave or act in a certain way. Whenever this happens this usually leads to an unhealthy dynamic between the siblings. This is why you should realise that your kids are individuals with personalities. This last part is more of a life hack then and advice. Whenever you are kids are in a fight you don't have to intervene until it gets serious. This is because they might not have the same reasoning as your adult mind and you explaining the situation might look like you're picking favorites. Which is why until the fight doesn't get extreme try not to involve yourself in it.
