In The Dash- Battle Of Balance

When you have multiple children you are always being pulled in different directions.  One wants to play outside while the other want to read.  One wants to play basketball while the other wants to play kickball.  There is a constant battle of balance and fairness of time spent.

What I have tried to do is focus at least one hour of quality one-on-one time per child, per week.  What this does is allow a time where the child who may not have a dominating personality feel like they are being heard and valued.

With multiple kids it is not possible to meet multiple needs at once, someone always feels left out and unheard.   To make that a priority is huge in the one-on-one social development of a child.  Little things go a long way to connecting with kids.  They need to know they’re heard.
