One-on-One Time Matters

The single most effective rivalry reducer is regular one-on-one time with each child. Even 15 minutes of undivided attention daily fills the attention tank that sibling competition tries to fill.

Quality matters more than quantity. Put your phone away, get on their level, and let them choose the activity. This is not teaching time or correction time. This is pure connection time where the child leads. The message: you matter to me individually, not just as part of the family unit.
