What Does It Mean to Be a Favorite Child?

A favorite child is a child whose parent(s) prefer them over their other children. This could mean that the preferred child gets special treatment or extra praise and attention from the parent(s). For instance, a parent may spend more time with their favorite child or even have higher expectations for them.

While showing praise and attention to a child is important, showing favoritism could affect children’s self-worth. Children who are favored may be overindulged and struggle when they don’t get their way. On the other hand, children who aren’t favored may have a lower self-worth and have more trouble making lasting relationships.

Being or not being a favorite child can have lifelong effects, which is why experts recommend avoiding favoritism as a parent and treating all children equally. Those who may have experienced favoritism are also encouraged to talk to a therapist to understand that their worth is not tied to their parent(s)’s approval.
