parents should not show love to one child more than the other.

At times parents do ot, but there are several instances where parents do not do it. Instead, one or the other child is prone to have this feeling based on their own judgement. No matter how much parents try to demonstrate equality, the feeling of inequality in the kids resides strongly.

The other qualities that you mentioned are also important. Empathy makes it easier for parents to understand what the kids are going through. Thus a stronger bond in formed between them.

Being attentive towards the kids makes it quicker to grab any mishap or emotional upheaval kids might be going through for any reason.
