[quote=Anonymous]My oldest and youngest have this age gap, but they have a brother in between. We have to divide and conquer on the weekend. That is pretty normal with families who have more than one child. It sounds like you do spend one on one time with your older daughter. Maybe you can bring her into the planning a little more to make her realize this. Say, “I’m picking you up from school tomorrow and we are stopping at the grocery store. Could you find a recipe that you would want to try together and we will get the ingredients” or “Tomorrow after X goes to bed, it’s your turn to pick out the game. Can you look in the cabinet and decide which one it will be.” She will start to see the moments when she is getting attention and might realize that she is getting what she wants already. [/quote]
