Gossiping about your child to their sibling isn't parenting - it's emotional abuse disguised as casual conversation. It teaches one child to take sides and the other to feel unsafe in their own family. It breaks trust, plants division, and creates wounds that take years to heal. Children shouldn't have to question whether they're being loved or discussed behind closed doors. Healthy parenting means protecting your child's heart, not turning their pain into a topic of discussion. Because when you speak about your child instead of to them, you're not solving the problem — you're becoming part of it.
