When a child says “You love my sibling more,” they are not questioning your love. They are usually expressing something deeper: • “I feel less seen right now.” • “I miss the attention I used to get.” • “I don’t know how to compete with my sibling.” Children don’t have the emotional vocabulary to say these things. So the feeling comes out as: “You love them more.” The instinct of most parents is to immediately respond: “That's not true. I love you both the same.” But what the child often needs first is validation, not correction. You can try saying: “I’m really glad you told me how you feel. Sometimes it might feel that way, but my love for you hasn't changed.” Because to a child, love is often measured by: • time • attention • physical affection • listening Sometimes a few minutes of undivided attention can reassure them more than a long explanation. “Children don’t compete for our love. They compete for our attention.” #kavyaislife ##siblingsfestlove #siblingsfight #motherhood
