Question 2 of 9

Which kiddo responds most positively to your influence and interactions as a parent?  

Give kiddo's name, age and why.
 

EG: James, 4 YO, responds to me because we spend the most time together. And because he can talk and make sense of things.  

Question 3 of 9

Which kiddo does not click as well with you?  Why do you think this is? 
Please share name, age and reason.  Thank you!

(No shame or blame here.  Kiddos, at different ages, personalities and perceptions move attachment from one parent to the other as a part of normal psycho-social development).
