My middle child and I have this issue, and I really have to stay aware of how I'm responding to her. It is so hard when your kids are wired so differently from you!

That would have been fun. I have three very different kids as well and could totally relate to what you said. It's a challenge sometimes to recognize their uniqueness, quirkiness and spiritedness as a gifting - but they are all created so differently and will be incredible blessings in their own ways. My daughter and I are very different and sometimes that's hard to navigate, but I'm learning more and more each day the ways in which she needs me to love her - not just simply knowing that I do.

I have two that really love one on one time with me. They open up and we talk freely. One that loves little gifts that show him I'm thinking of him. I have one that just wants to know that he's special. He likes to help me cook and help daddy work. We give him lots of praise for his willingness to serve. My oldest just needs flat honesty. He's always got his nose in a book and his mind in a different world. When I get a moment with him we just talk about real life. Thanks for posting this!

So whatever decision he makes, I try and get excited about.
