Hi I want to start spending individual time with one daughter and then giving the other daughter her individual time. does anyone know how i can go about doing that. My youngest is 4 and very jealous, she wants all my time, while the other daughte who is 7 i feel she gets push to the side, because of her little sister.....

In one of the old "Jon & Kate Plus 8" episodes (before all the current marriage drama) They gave each child a "special day" to choose an acitivity that they wanted to do and they spent that day with that child giving them one-on-one time (ie: took one roller skating, one to a museum, one to paint pottery, etc.) I think overall, everyday you should try and give them BOTH as much attention as you possibly can. Do not let it become a habit that the youngest always gets the spot light. Obviously, due to her age at times she will require more care, but love, affection, and overall time should be tried to be split evenly. Maybe try what Jon & Kate did and assign each girl a "special day" once a month and take them somewhere they want to go so they see you are making the best effort you possibly can to relate and spend time with them both. : ) GL

I wouldn't recommend spending one on one time w/ one child one day and spending one on one time with your other child the next. Both of them need one on one time with you every day. Maybe spend one on one time with the oldest while the youngest takes a nap?
