Are there activities you set aside after one child wasn’t interested that you forgot about with the next that you wish you had remembered?
Many parents tell me their children are different, but none tell me that they’ve done anything different with each child at particular ages. Does that make any sense? (On second thought, most of the parents I know don’t really talk about what they do with their kids, just where they go. Hmmm, interesting thought.)
I have to reassess the fun activities I’m doing with Sweet Pea, after all, he’s a different child than Cutie Pie with different interests and abilities than CP had at this age, too. I’m going back to some things I’ve done in the past when CP was 4. Some worked, some didn’t. I just need to pull out some things and try again! Who knows, maybe the things that didn’t work so well the first time will be great this time? And maybe the things that worked just fine will be just the thing for Sweet Pea’s interest to be piqued!
What differences have you noticed between your kiddos? Do you notice yourself treating them differently?
