Spending time with my 3 kids individually instead of all together has been a game changer. I connect with them better.

For a long time, I used to try doing everything with my three children together. We'd all go to the movies or for a walk outside. The truth is, it was often a disaster. My children range in age from two to nine, so their needs are vastly different. They also have different ideas about what constitutes "fun." I found it exhausting, and it was never really enjoyable for any of us.
