SIBLING RIVALRY 4 - Special time

Scheduled special time is a reminder of why you had kids in the first place - to enjoy them.

It is easier for your kids to accept that you are busy ‘right’ now - if they know there is a planned special time later.

Anticipate with excitement, along with your child, the pleasure of spending that special time together. Imagine and plan what you will do together. Brainstorm a list and work your way through it.

10 minutes is often enough!

Don’t spend a lot of money, or do anything too complicated (unless it is special SPECIAL time) - being with you and having your full attention will go a long way.
