PiscesWhen Good Kids Do Crazy Things
One relative reportedly said Jamie Lynn got pregnant to upstage
her big sister. When one sibling demands a lot of attention, how can a
parent be sure the other sibling gets the right kind of attention?
The Spears story just gets sadder and sadder. Chanda McGovern, the ex-wife Britney and Jamie Lynn's uncle, tells the NY Post, "I do believe Jamie Lynn may be feeling the disruption of the family with everything that's going on. She wants a little bit of 'me' attention, with everything that's going on with Britney like it is."
| Whether the aunt is full of it or right on target, it does bring up a good point. When one child's needs seem out of control, how do we make sure the "easy" kid gets their own needs met? Friend of Mom•Logic Pamela Varady says in families with more than one child, siblings usually require varying levels of attention. "Once they're over three years old, kids can pretty much tell when one child needs more than the other. A parent's job is to be aware of what each child's | |
| needs are and approach that "low key" kid and make sure they're not needing more. It's as simple as: 'Hey, I'm just wondering how you are 'cause your needs are very important to me.'" Dr. Varady adds that parents should make sure that the independent child is only "easy" due to temperament, and it's not actually suppressing his/her own needs based on the environment you've created at home. | |
