Comparing your children to their friends or other children is devastating. The fact is that different children struggle with different things, but everyone struggles with something. This is how the world works. By comparing them, we tell them that there is something wrong with them. That their brother or sister is better because they don't have to fight so hard. This is a destructive lie. We want to teach our children that God loves them completely, no matter what they struggle with or how long they struggle.
