Repeated comparisons can fuel feelings of resentment toward both the child being compared to and the parent making the comparisons. Children may harbor resentment toward their peers for being held up as benchmarks of success and toward their parents for imposing unrealistic expectations.
Comparison breaks trust and turns friends into rivals. Comparison hurts a child’s character and creates quitters. Comparison lead to children’s negative self-cognition. Children’s self-concept and efficacy are harmed.

One of the things that caused me depression as a child growing up was that my parents constantly compared me to the kids of their friends. That really made me suffer low self esteem. It is very wrong to compare your children with other people’s kids. By so doing, you end up magnifying the flaws that your kids have and don’t hone their strength. Some kids never recover from the inferiority complex that comes with that.

Comparing your kids to others as a parent is generally not a healthy approach. Every child is unique, with different strengths, weaknesses, and timelines for growth. When parents compare, even with good intentions, it can make a child feel inadequate, anxious, or unloved, leading to low self-esteem and resentment. Instead, focus on their personal progress, celebrate achievements, and provide guidance tailored to their abilities. Encouragement, positive reinforcement, and setting realistic goals nurture confidence far more than comparison, fostering motivation and a love for learning. Comparisons often create unnecessary pressure and can damage the parent-child relationship, while recognizing individuality helps children thrive and feel valued for who they are.

Comparing kids to others usually isn’t a good idea. Even if parents do it to motivate them, it can make children feel less confident, stressed, or upset. Every child is different and grows at their own pace, so it’s better to focus on their own progress and achievements. Praising their efforts, celebrating small successes, and encouraging them to improve helps them build confidence and stay motivated without feeling pressured or discouraged.

i think for me everyone has the way which they want their kids to grow I have the way which I want to train my kids so for this aspect I believe that I can never compare my kids to others it’s a shameful action.
It’s signify that you don’t have your own stand and way of living
