I heard a speaker who mentioned each child in the family wanting their own place in the spotlight. IF one child is the good one then the other takes on the role as bad. If one is great in Math, the other may not want to advance in the same area. I have seen my younger child not do somethings that the older one does in the spotlight.

This left me wondering. How do parents manage this?
Can't both kids be good? I quess I don't really understand this concept completely.
