You already know who the favorite is in your family 👀 A meta-analysis by researchers at Brigham Young University and Western University examined nearly 19,500 people across 30 studies and found that parents tended to give slightly more favorable treatment to younger children and daughters. Personality also played a role, with parents more likely to favor children who were agreeable and conscientious. Interestingly, when it came to parental control and independence, older siblings were given more freedom. However, researchers emphasized that the differences were small, and experts warned that family dynamics are far more complex than simply picking a favorite. #family #parenting #viral #study #Siblings
