[quote=Anonymous] This is interesting for me as the parent of two very different children. The older one has had health issues from birth and is twice exceptional (gifted and learning disabled); and the second is healthy and above average in everything. I find myself spending so much more time with DC1, and I hope I have explained enough and shown my love to both enough, that DC2 will understand why I need to do this, and not see it as a slight. The gestures and thoughts of daily life are so difficult for DC1, while DC2 can take care of himself so competently. I am also afraid DC1 will resent me for being so trusting of DC2, who is organized and handy, whereas I constantly check on motor-challenged and forgetful DC1 for spills, lost items, time spent on various tasks, etc... I tell them I love them every day. I hug them tight. I encourage them to bond and play. I hope I'm doing enough. But I can't parent them the same way.[/quote]
