Summary

Don’t tell your sister but you are my favorite! Biz and Theresa talk about favoritism in our homes growing up and how we are trying to steer clear of it now that we're parents. We can at least agree that screaming “why can’t you be more like your brother” is probably a bad idea, right? It gets hard when we wrestle with feeling like we have to over-do to make each child feel they are getting enough attention, especially when they have such different needs. Plus Biz is visited by the demon mom spirit, Theresa has a gender rant, and we talk to early childhood development expert and author, Dr. Gloria Walther. Check out Dr. Walther and Stuart Lichtman's Eye To Eye series on early childhood development: Eye to Eye, Volume One Eye to Eye, Volume TwoEye to Eye, Volume Three: Becoming a More Relaxed and Effective ParentEye to Eye, Volume Four Check out our book!
