[quote=Anonymous]My kiddos have a 6-year gap and Big brother (8) is SUCH A HELP. Little sister (2) is high maintenance but she goes to bed at 7 (doesn't always sleep but stays in her room) and we prioritize the hour between 7-8 to be 1:1 time with big brother. We play card games or have special desserts that LS can't have. When he's extra helpful (like Friday when school was closed but both DH and I had remote work) - over nap time/ lunch we walked to target and got a special toy as a thank you. Don't know how their relationship will change as they get older. But it's been so great to watch him practice leadership skills and compassion. Do they fight - of course they do. Does he ditch her at the playground to hang out with peers - of course. Does he tell the entire world she is going through her terrible twos and will be cool again when she is 4..... he also does. Good luck to you and your family! [/quote]
