A Quick-Start Checklist

Not sure where to begin? Pick one move this week and add another next week:

• One-on-one time: 15 phone-free minutes per child, child-led.
• Appreciation ritual: each kid names one thing a sibling did well.
• Needs-based fairness: "Everyone gets what they need," not identical shares.

Small, repeated rituals beat one grand gesture. Consistency is what strengthens the relationship.
