Sometimes it can be beneficial to focus on things that your sibling does well and praise them in front of your parents. For instance, if they recently received a good grade in school, you could point out how proud you are of them for their accomplishment. This could make your sibling feel embarrassed and more inclined to seek out appreciation from your parents directly while making you feel more valued.

There are several ways you could try to make your sibling feel neglected by your parents. For instance, you could encourage them to express their needs and feelings in private so that your parent's attention only serves as a reward for bad behavior. Additionally, if appropriate clothing and hygiene care can be established before taking pictures with family, the praise given to a properly presented sibling may be too much for your sibling to bear. Another option might include focusing on activities that need some help but will not hurt if they don't reach the expectations set; This way their own inadequacy will become obvious when compared to successful attempts by other children whose parent’s attention was paid more abundantly than usual due to success on those activities or behaviors earlier addressed.
