[quote=Anonymous]I would love to hear feedback from HFs whose children have different needs from an AP.  There was a brief discussion of this on aupairmom, but I would love to see some more insight and perspectives.  Our two children - both school aged though 3 years apart - have very different needs from the AP.  One spends quite a lot of time with the AP and really relies on the AP for a lot of the daily care/play/instruction, whereas the other, being older and very independent, spends very little time with the AP, due to her school and sports schedule.  We are trying to pick an AP for next year, and each wants and needs something different from the AP.  Have others wrestled with this?  How do you make your choices?  What kinds of trade-offs have you made?  I don't want to present this as "your bother's needs trump yours" to my DD, but on the other hand, his needs ARE greater, so in many ways they should.  But I don't want to foster resentment between them.  Would love to hear any insights or experiences people may have.
Thank you!
