tempting to say, you know, hey, honey, it's not all about you.
Your brother has special needs.
We really need to you know, blah, blah, blah.
That's how they hear it.
Um, you know, what kid is gonna honestly respond, Oh, I didn't realise thanks for explaining it to me, right?
Um very unlikely.
Uh so y you don't want to make it sound like the typical kids needs are less important.
than his siblings 'cause that's a sure formula for them to start hating and resenting their siblings.
You're better off reframing it as a problem.
You know, my problem is I have to help your brother with his exercises and I also want to help you plan your birthday party.
Let's see how we can make that happen.
You know, when I when I'm at my best I don't make it sound like there's a finite amount of love and that the typical kid is being selfish to demand attention.
Or that their needs aren't as important.

You know, it's tempting to say to the typical kid, like, you know, you're lucky.

So, you know, my goal is not to give my three children equal attention.
That would be impossible.
