Giving each child individual attention can prevent feelings of neglect from "summary" of Siblings Without Rivalry by Adele Faber,Elaine Mazlish

When we take the time to give each child individual attention, we are sending them a powerful message - that they are important to us. This simple act can work wonders in preventing feelings of neglect from creeping in. Children need to feel valued and seen by their parents in order to develop a strong sense of self-worth. By spending quality time with each child separately, we are showing them that they matter to us and that we care about their thoughts and feelings. When children feel neglected, they may start acting out in order to get attention. They might become more demanding or clingy, or they might withdraw and become quiet. These behaviors are often a cry for help, a sign that they are feeling overlooked and unimportant. By giving each child individual attention on a regular basis, we can help prevent these negative behaviors from manifesting. It's important to remember that children are individuals with their own unique needs and personalities. What works for one child may not work for another. By taking the time to understand each child's preferences and interests, we can tailor our interactions with them to make them feel special and valued. This personalized attention can go a long way in building strong relationships with our children and preventing feelings of neglect from taking hold. In a busy household, it can be challenging to find time to give each child individual attention. However, even short bursts of one-on-one time can make a big difference. Whether it's reading a book together, going for a walk, or simply having a conversation, these moments of connection can help strengthen the bond between parent and child. By prioritizing individual attention for each child, we can create a supportive and nurturing environment where they feel loved and cared for.
