Awesome insight. I have always intuitively known I should try to have special time with my 7 year old, but my 10 month old always gets more attention. I am riddled with guilt! This article makes it abundantly clear that he needs my special time too!
Thanks

One on one time, in my opinion is CRITICAL. Kids spell love T-I-M-E and when they have ALL of your time, it totally fills them up and makes them feel so special.
Great article – thank you

I haven’t even thought about it until now, but you are so right. I have one-on-one time with my son in the mornings, because he gets up before my daughter, and it is so special. We roll the ball, cuddle, read his favorite books, and play cars. When his sister wakes up, she wants to choose everything from books to tv shows to games and toys, and my son goes along with whatever she chooses because by nature he is just so agreeable. So that time in the morning is his time to choose what we do together. I have one on one time with my daughter at night, because she stays up a bit later than my son. We read, color, write, draw, do crafts, & talk. These moments are what make us as close as we are. I will have to remember to not take them for granted and not let them be interrupted by unimportant phone calls or other distractions. Thanks for the reminder that knowing our children as individuals is so important.
