Playing favourites

According to Jessica Griffin, an associate professor of psychiatry and paediatrics at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in the United States, “Not every parent has a favourite child, but many do.

“According to the data, mothers favor children who share their values and spend more time with their families over those who are highly ambitious or career-driven.

Regardless of the reason, some research indicates that, regardless of whether they admit it or not, many parents almost certainly do have favorites.
