It reminded me to address the root cause of one child who has started whining quite a lot lately is to spend quality one-on-one time playing with just her. We've been so over-scheduled and "traveling as in a family pack" all the time that I can easily forget that they all need to spend time w. me one-on-one. Great reminder, thanks.

I had never thought about how to give two kids at such different ages one on one time. I had noticed that my daughter (20 mts) gets grumpy when she doesn't get enough attention. I'm glad it's normal.

I couldn't have been inspired to write it without this carnival post. I never would have thought that by accidentally coming across your blog that I would have been so moved and get a fresh perspective and renewed hope. Needless to say, life with an anxious child is complex, but it helps to know that our story might encourage other parents out there. Thank you so very much.

I decided to post further on my blog about it (here - http://growinginpeace.wordpress.com/2009/04/20/why-one-on-one-time-works-better-for-behavioral-issues/), because, for us, the only way to see the child beneath the behavior was to keep her closer, not push her away.

My 4-year-old loves it, even more so since the baby came. And we're really happy with the school we chose. Plus it gives me one-on-one time with my baby that I can't get any other way. It's really win-win for us. Preschool has been fabulous for us, too. My 4-year-old loves it, even more so since the baby came. And we’re really happy with the school we chose.

I never before have really thought about the fact that those behaviors could easily stem from the child needing more interaction and attention. It's nice to have my eyes opened =) These are great tips!
