Thanks so much! But my husband is extremely involved as a father and that helps a lot. If it wasn’t for him, I’d be in the corner weeping most of the day…lol. It’s so easy to let the quieter kids “go” and focus on the high needs ones, but they definitely need mommy just as much. Parenting is both the most rewarding and the most demanding job in the world.

When they first came home for adoption we struggled to find a way to draw her into the family and she needed a massive amount of support.

Now we do a lot of turn-taking. Also we deliberately do a lot of one to one with them both. If one child is struggling with a subject we either let the other child help or give the the struggler some more time with a topic.

It is a hard balance and we don’t always get it right because our princess is so quiet when she doesn’t feel she can seek attention that sometimes I forget and that makes me feel terrible. Fortunately, with time she is getting way better at standing up for herself. I don’t know what it will happen when they are both vocal!!

Sometimes we don’t get it right because the children both need a lot at the same time. How you manage that with four, I do not know but I stand in awe.
I like this series.
