Why children favour one parent when sharing secrets
Original: Psychology says children who tell one parent everything but hide things from the other may not always be
Psychology commentary is highlighting children who confide fully in one parent while keeping things hidden from the other. The Times of India piece suggests this behaviour may not always signal a problem, pointing to differences in how children perceive each parent's reactions and roles rather than dysfunction or divided loyalties. Parenting writers and readers are weighing in on whether such selective openness is normal family dynamics or something worth addressing.
Why now: The parenting topic resonates with people reflecting on family dynamics and how children distribute trust between parents.
