QUICK LESSONS:
Treat your children equally and fairly; Spend equal amounts of time with each child; Give each child equal amounts of love and attention; Be consistent in your discipline and expectations for each child; Foster unity within your family unit by treating everyone fairly.

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us that it is important to treat all of our children equally. We should not show favoritism or partiality towards any one child, but rather we should strive to give each child the same amount of love and attention. This means that we should not give one child more gifts or privileges than another, nor should we spend more time with one than the other. We must also ensure that our discipline and expectations are consistent for each child so as to avoid creating a sense of unfairness between them. By doing this, we can help foster a sense of unity and harmony within our family unit, which will ultimately lead to greater happiness for everyone involved.
