In busy families, ensuring each child receives individual attention is crucial for their emotional well-being. Here are 8 tips to make it happen:

1. Schedule regular “dates” with each child
2. Create bedtime rituals that include one-on-one conversations
3. Involve children in everyday tasks as a bonding opportunity
4. Alternate which child you focus on during shared activities
5. Use car rides for uninterrupted conversations
6. Designate specific areas or times in the home for one-on-one interactions
7. Engage in each child’s unique interests or hobbies
8. Be fully present: put away phones and distractions during your time together

Remember, quality often matters more than quantity. Even short, focused interactions can have a significant positive impact on your relationship with each child.
