How Is It Possible If We Were All Born Into Comparison?

People always say "don't compare yourself with others". How is it possible if we were all born into comparison? We all experienced comparison even before we knew the meaning. While we were in the womb we were been compared with others.( why is my baby not kicking like hers?, oh my belly isn't that big, oh my baby seems quiet, etc ) .
And from the day we were born , the comparison got worst,(my baby isn't as fair as hers, why are you not sitting like other kids?, oh my baby isn't walking yet or talking yet.) . Are these issues not signs that everyone has there time? cause eventually we all sat,walked and,talked at different times and stages when it was time for us to. Then we got older started school and comparison increased.(look at your mates or look at so so and so, why aren't you doing this like so so).. Now how does someone who grew up hearing these things not compare his/herself to others?
My point is we need to do more as parents .we need to stop the comparison so that our kids can grow up knowing it is ok to be different or to not have certain things at certain times. We need not to put pressure on them so they don't end up making bad decisions in life in other to feel they belong or feel accepted by the society.
Like the popular saying goes "charity begins at home". Let us join hands together to raise a better generation..
