I think it's a GREAT MISTAKE to treat all siblings

EQUALLY.

CHILDREN ARE DIFFERENT. Certainly one has to be fair. But also, one has to teach that life is not particularly fair--deal with it.

In any case, some children require 2-5 times what maybe all the rest of the children required put together.

I can say that theoretically I could agree that such COULD happen.

I just KNOW that personally, in observing more than 5,000 families/children at significantly close range, I HAVE NEVER seen it such that the parents REALLY DID even mostly ALL THEY COULD HAVE DONE to bond, connect, train the child.

What you mean so say is that your hindsight is always perfect. What a shock and surprise that is.

As a parent myself, I understand all too well how it is UNAVOIDABLE to make mistakes.
