My son is 4 12 years old. His younger brother is 2 12. From the time his brother was born Taywan Taylor Color Rush Jersey , until now, he has been loving, giving, and caring. Like all siblings sharing has not always come as easy. In the last few weeks he has made comments that I pay more attention to his brother. I have evaluated it and even though my husband and I think he is wrong...I have tried to spend more one on one time with him. He has become very quiet Adoree' Jackson Color Rush Jersey , withdrawn, and when ever we ask what is wrong he has a sad look and just shrugs and says nothing. The other day I heard him playing and he was dialoging that a toy needed to be sad to get attention and that that toy had just had a baby brother. He treats his brother as well as ever and he truly loves him and I just find it hard to believe that after 2 12 years that he is really insecure about his brothers attention getting. Is this just a way to manipulate me into paying more attention, a phase, a way of growing emotionally or what????Help please. I have prayed about it and hopefully you are the answer God has given me.

Sounds like lots of good old fashion sibling stuff going on. Nothing you mentioned is out of the norm. I found myself focusing in more on you than on what your son is going through. This is what I heard:
1. You gave your son the benefit of the doubt and discussed whether you give your other son more attention.
2. You have been willing to spend more one on one time with your older son in response to what he is presenting you with.
3. You are attentive to aspects of his play.
All good signs of an intuned Corey Davis Color Rush Jersey , related, reflective and responsive parent. This is what your children need more than anything to grow into emotionally healthy adults.
Not to say that this is a non-issue. Help your son continue to put his feelings into words and use play as a forum for processing his experience of the world. Give him reassurance that you have enough love for both of them. Explain to him that young children sometimes need more help from grown-ups as they cannot do some of the things that "big boys" can do.
Lastly, when there is such an age difference between children, sometimes such feelings can emerge if one child begins school while the younger child get to "reap the rewards" of being home with Mommy. This then becomes one of the issues to include in your chats with your son.

That is the secret – buy low, fix up Rashaan Evans Color Rush Jersey , sell high. Want more information? Read on.
Know what you can afford. Before you ever look at a house, find a lender to pre-approve (not pre-qualify) your loan. Having your loan in hand is a powerful bargaining chip when you are ready to buy.
Look in the right places. Check the newspapers for foreclosure sales & the legal notices for tax foreclosure properties. Buy foreclosures, HUD, auctions directly from Governments & banks (find the bargain homes here!). Shop around for a real estate agent that knows the kind of house you are looking for; establish a relationship with them.
Find the right house. Avoid houses that need cosmetic repairs. You want a neglected house that is structurally sound with no major plumbing Delanie Walker Color Rush Jersey , structural or electrical issues.
Read the ads right. In real estate listings, look for words like ‘Handyman’s Special’ or ‘Fixer-upper’. Others tell you that you’ll get a lovely bargain: ‘motivated buyer’, ‘Must Sell!’, ‘Quick Closing’ all mean that the buyer is anxious to sell Marcus Mariota Color Rush Jersey , & will likely be happy with a lower price.
Focus on the highest yield improvements. Kitchen & bath spruce-ups will give you back the most for your time & money. If you can only ‘do’ six rooms, be sure to make one of them the kitchen.
Paint it, cover it up. Start with the basics: paint, paper & floors.
Stick with neutrals. You want to generate a backdrop for the buyer’s imagination Amani Hooker Color Rush Jersey , & the more neutral the canvas, the easier it is for them to see their furniture against it.
Sell it yourself. Why pay a realtor’s commission fee now?
Have all the receipts & materials warranties for any repairs & work that you did ready to hand over. Knowing that their home is ‘protected’ can help make a sale.
Know your market & loan options. Lots of buyers won’t. If you can help steer them toward loan sources, it will help you with your sale.
Be ready to close. Have your inspection & appraisal papers ready in order to keep away from delays.
Aren’t you glad that you didn’t pay for this “get-rich-quick” secret? Flipping houses is a viable way to invest & become profitable, on the condition that you are truly willing to put time & hard work into the technique.
