shtarky, as a parent you have to realize that NOT each child is treated equally. Different children have different needs. Just like you wouldn’t put one child in therapy bec another child is getting it, similarly, some children need more leniency while others need a firmer hand etc. Parents need loads of Siyata Dishmaya to determain exactly what each child needs while at the same time avoiding jealousy.

This of course is the same advice we get from a famous Chazal, learned from Yaakov Avinu…80

But I think shtarky agrees with this. shtarky said to treat each child equally. I think he/she meant treat each child fairly and do not show a bias towards one over the other. I don’t think that by equal, shtarky meant to treat them all in the same way. Or so I would think that was what was meant…80
