Yesterday we spoke with clinical psychiatrist Dr. Ellen Webber Libby about parents who play favorites, and the effects of that attention on a child’s development. We hear from brothers, sisters, mothers and sons on the effect that favoritism played ? if any at all. Some listeners, like our Facebook friend Carrie Perrez wrote, “I’m the favorite because I am an only child; but, I have more than one child. They are all my favorite. They each have their own niches in my heart.”
