I really recommend the book, "Siblings without Rivalry; How to Help your Children live together so you can live too" by Faber and Mazlish. It is helpful and I know that I will utilize their strategies over and over!<BR/>HugsKerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07015465399522119152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1111646593312004024.post-75900056938819830392008-06-20T20:53:00.000-05:002008-06-20T20:53:00.000-05:00you'll be fine.....at least Grace is a little olde...you'll be fine.....at least Grace is a little older and you can explain things to her....include her in things for William and she will feel "grown up' about it and very much a part of it all. ;)Steffie B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10961855406741293851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1111646593312004024.post-5760109842672950962008-06-18T19:56:00.000-05:002008-06-18T19:56:00.000-05:00So nice that you and Dan have some time together. ...So nice that you and Dan have some time together. enjoy my friend. <BR/><BR/>Lea<BR/>xoOH MY #6https://www.blogger.com/profile/12850178661326132022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1111646593312004024.post-39165838938413869812008-06-18T18:36:00.000-05:002008-06-18T18:36:00.000-05:00Oh my, well...we have sibling rivalry going strong...Oh my, well...we have sibling rivalry going strong over here. It's ok. It all works itself out. <BR/>My advice is that not everyone gets the same thing, everyone gets what they need.<BR/>If you can't share a toy or behave nicely with it, it goes into toy time out and I put it on the mantle.<BR/>Everyone in the home deserves to have a great day, you can throw all of the fits you want in your bedroom.redmaryjaneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09768158710291676368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1111646593312004024.post-48192908298104223952008-06-18T16:38:00.000-05:002008-06-18T16:38:00.000-05:00I'm in the same boat as you with little and big ki...I'm in the same boat as you with little and big kids.
