[quote=Anonymous]Similar situation for me. Working/reading through the book "How to Talk so Kids Will Listen and Listen so Kids Will Talk" by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish. I've found some good ways to work on how I'm communicating with the older child. Also remembering that the older child needs focused attention to especially since they are in school so the younger ones will are more likely to have a closer relationship with you. I try to remember it isn't about me and greet the older one with a hug first and extra affection (sometimes just being silly/shocked about it surprises enough to change reaction 'Oh no!! I forgot to get my hug in(big hug)!! How are you?') and empathy before addressing any concerns. Also, I do try to have a snack ready to tell the older one about right after school, because I have noticed that behaviour does get more difficult for this child when they have low blood sugar but havent realized it. I'm learning and working through these things, but haven't gotten it all figured out. Anyway, good luck![/quote]
