[quote=Anonymous]My child’s therapist said that one cause of her anxiety was the three-year age gap between her and her younger brother. I guess at that age children have a greater awareness of the self so they feel it acutely when their parents’ attention is split in two. Two years is better than three for the older sibling. But they have a *great* relationship and I don’t regret the age gap because I couldn’t have handled a two year age gap. I actually did get pregnant and there would have been a 2 year gap and I started having panic attacks. I had a miscarriage, and then when I got pregnant with my son I was so happy and everything felt so perfect. With questions about “what is best” you have to consider everybody in the family, not just the kids. [/quote]
