The close moments, the moments of play together should be recorded. When the time comes to review these images, children will love each other even more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parents can also ask small questions about their thinking of each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>For example &ndash;<\/b><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&ldquo;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What do you like to play with your sister\/brother?

And let the child answer the above question.<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of yelling and forcing children to stop playing when they argue, parents should allow them to find the best solution for both.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-Love-your-kids-equally\"><\/span>6.
