This Is How Kids Decide What Each Parent Is For.

One parent gets the phone call from the school car park. The other gets "Can we get McDonald's?" Neither role was chosen. Your child quietly chose it for you years ago. Every kid quietly assigns parenting roles long before long division, deciding which parent handles logistics and which one handles feelings. This video looks at the child psychology behind differential parenting and why your child may already see you as the favorite parent for certain things. 📚 𝗦𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗖𝗘𝗦: Paquette, D. (2004).
