How do I stop comparing my child to others?

Comparison steals joy—for both you and your child.

What to do, step by step:

1. Notice when you compare.
   Pause the thought and replace it with gratitude.
   
2. Focus on progress.
   Ask, “What’s one thing they’ve improved at?”
   
3. Celebrate individuality.
   “You’re learning in your own amazing way.”
   
4. Model self-compassion.
   Speak kindly about your own growth too.
