Prof. YL writes that “ Rav Samson Raphael Hirsch suggests (based on earlier sources) that the fault [the Esav turns out so badly] partially lies with Yitzchak and Rivkah in that they ignored ?the great law of education chanoch la?naar al pi darko, ?bring up each child in accordance with its own way? ? that each child must be treated differently with an eye to the slumbering tendencies of his nature.?”

Where does the Torah text tell us that Yitzchak and Rivkah did not treat them differently.
