Why Parents Should Stop Comparing Their Children to Others
Psychologist Nouf Al-Qunebit said that comparing a child to other children is a serious problem that can harm the child’s ambition and self-confidence.
During her interview on the “Ya Hala” program, broadcast on the Rotana Khalijiya channel, Al-Qunebit explained that she is completely against comparing children to others.
She said this is due to each child's unique abilities, mental and physical development, and upbringing. Read: Exit Re-Entry visa Extension After One Year: Saudi Rules Explained
She added that comparison can create negative feelings in a child’s heart, such as hatred toward others. In some cases, the child may even hate himself and dislike the goals he is expected to achieve.
Al-Qunebit also pointed out that comparing adults to each other is harmful as well, because people differ in their values, priorities, family backgrounds, and upbringing methods. Recommend: Cold wave ahead in several regions of Saudi Arabia
