[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have three (all 6 and under). With the older two, I point out whenever I’m doing stuff 1:1 with them. Once I started pointing it out to them, they seemed to notice it more and consider things like running an errand solo or reading a book for just a few minutes as 1:1 time. Mine, at least now, don’t seem to require the time in daily hours-long chunks. [/quote] This is good advice! What I do is try to have solo time with each older kid (I also have a baby) at least fifteen minutes a day. I will play Uno or read books or take a quick walk, little things. My oldest likes to do yoga with me so that also helps with a quick workout. I know 15 minutes isn’t long, but that makes it manageable of a goal. And on the weekends I spend more time with the two older kids while baby naps. [/quote]
