Stop Comparing Your Child to Others

Jan 08, 2021

It's so easy to compare children, whether their milestones, achievements or interests. But here's why we need to stop comparing kids and what you can do instead. I jinxed myself, again. I was just beginning to think my toddler's tantrums didn't seem as terrible as in the past. And of course, he threw an all-out, can't-catch-my-breath tantrum in what should've been a fun birthday party. We had to listen to him cry the whole ride home—through traffic, of course—before he calmed down.
