Hello

Both DH and I are first-borns, weirdly enough so are many of our friends, so I wanted to check with MN! I've been finding that I can tune in to a lot of what DS1 is interested in, and his emotions, but DS2 is harder for me to understand - very funny and energetic, but also very clingy and needing a lot of my attention and energy, especially when tired. I do my best to be attentive and give time to both children, but wonder if there are any particular challenges for second-born children, and any good ideas about how to solve these? I can imagine it is difficult always being in the situation of "catching up" with the older sibling.

thanks for any advice you can give - T4T
