Home politics, at an adolescent stage is a stage where teenagers/adolescents tends to compete with one another in their homes. At this stage, they see everyone within their age grade in the home as their competitor and then actively perform their duties competitively to attract attention of their parents, siblings and every other person involved, all to themselves. In some cases, this habit leads them into fighting, lying, impersonating, pretending and even giving an extreme show of some good behavior just to be considered as the best or favorite child in the family.
At times you will discover that they do not only exhibit these attitudes in their homes alone, but also in public places which if not checked properly, will someday be a threat to the society.
Taking a close view of what happens in the family today, will leave you with no option than to believe in the general myth that the girls in the family especially the first daughters are loved more by their fathers than any other child in the family, that the boys are closer to their mother, the last child is protected more than any other child in the family, and that there tends to be a certain rate of competition which might be tag “survival of the fittest” among the first and the second children. Sometimes, we end up believing in these myths when things go wrong or right in our family.
In most cases, the rivalry between siblings in the family, leads to the destruction of family ties which is not considered healthy among young people.
Therefore, parents/guidance is advice to carefully examine their kids, knowing this unhealthy competition, “Home Politics” among children is nothing but a sign of weakness and low self esteem. While examining them, parents/guidance should strategically instruct and teach them on the steps to resolving home politics as well as avoiding issues that will lead to it.
Parent/guidance on the other hand should endeavor to treat their kids equally, in as much as it is believed that kids can only be loved base on their character traits.
Lastly, parent/guidance should avoid giving the impression that one child is preferred to the other so as to avoid home politics.
By so doing, “Home Politics” if not eradicated, will be reduced in our society
