Failing to balance these dynamics can lead to unfair double standards and friction within the family.
- 2How to handle childhood jealousy over attentionChildren can experience intense jealousy when they perceive that affection or attention is being given to friends or siblings, leading to dramatic reactions and attempts to exclude others.
