That was going on for sometime. What I realized was that the baby was out of the loop because the older kids has shared so many things together that when we talk about them or laugh about things in the past she is kind of left out. What I have done is incorporated her into the old things we used to do before she was born or very young, like actually watching the lion king, (which she never saw before) and this year we will carve out a pumpkin and bake the seeds. As the older kids got older, we had to move on to address theier after school activities and girlfriends and outside interests. We remain a close knit family but we had to go backwards to go forwards. the baby missed out because everybody was growing up except for her.
Your kids will be fine, promote family unity above all, go to church together, explain that they are the only people who they will be able to depend on as adults, work together to do more family activities that are not above or beneath the others and hug all the time! attacking your kids with unexpected hugs and kisses does wonders! Good luck, and don’t worry so much! ~Alicia http://savemoneymomma.today.com
