353. Why You Can't Parent Every Kid The Same & How To Not Feel Guilty About It

Hi Mamas,

If you have more than one child, you already know—you can raise them in the same house, with the same parents, and somehow end up with completely different human beings.

What works with one of your kids may completely backfire with another. One may need more structure and boundaries, while another needs you to back off and give them more independence. One may want comfort and reassurance when they’re upset, while another needs space.

And yet, as moms, we can put so much pressure on ourselves to make everything “fair.”

But fair doesn’t always mean equal.

In this episode, I’m talking about why loving your kids equally doesn’t mean parenting them exactly the same. I share how I’ve learned to pay attention to the child in front of me, adjust the way I parent based on what each of my kids needs, and let go of some of the guilt that can come with treating our kids differently.

We’ll talk about:

The difference between fair and equal when parenting multiple children

How to recognize what each of your kids actually needs from you

Why different personalities may require different parenting approaches

How to adjust your parenting as your kids grow and change

What to do when siblings notice they’re being treated differently

Why different doesn’t mean favorite

How to avoid comparing or labeling your kids

Simple ways to make each of your children feel seen, heard and valued

Because our job isn’t to parent every one of our kids exactly the same.

It’s to get to know them, meet them where they are, and give them what they need from us in the season they’re in.

Same love. Different delivery.

And sometimes loving our children equally means showing up for them differently.
