    Help the youngest instead of being jealous of them, teach them the faults you made through your life to not repeat those mistakes

      We have 2 kids, and the oldest feels jealous when I give the youngest focused attention. I constantly have to remind her that I did the same with her, and it’s only fair. But I can see how it’s tough on her.

      This week our 4 year old wanted to try swimming like her sister without floaties. So I was helping her navigate the water where she had to keep herself up, and my oldest (7) was definitely feeling jelly.
