But, like @T.H.O.U.: said, as they get older, they don't need as much one on one time. I still give my oldest one some alone time with me when after her sister goes to bed, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/special-time-with-each-child#post-2279371 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 14:43:29 +0000 Mamaof2 2279371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have learned that you give each child what they need. It may not always be equal and that is ok </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/special-time-with-each-child#post-2279364 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 14:41:58 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2279364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Over time it seems less and less important. She's happy to come and sit next to me while I nurse the baby. He's happy to sit in my lap while she "dresses me up". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/special-time-with-each-child#post-2255208 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 18:30:00 +0000 LuLu Mom 2255208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do you make sure each of your children get that one on one attention? I really focus on trying to give each of my girls one on one time where we leave the house just the two of us so they get mommy alone time. This is most important for my almost 3 year old who gets jealous of the attention I spend on the baby. However, I think it's important that DD2 gets the same amount of time with me. How do you manage? </p>
