Justice Among Children in Praise and Playfulness

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it obligatory for a father to be just among his children, even in praising them and complimenting them?

Answer:
Yes, yes, it is obligatory for him, even in kissing them and joking with them, he must be just among them, because this removes their sensitivity. And if he turns to some of them and starts kissing them individually or among themselves, this breeds some resentment in their hearts, yes.
