Quiet Child

If you have more than one child . . . which is it, for you? Which one is a little quieter, a little less dare-devil, less smart, less cantankerous; the one less confident, perhaps, or even maybe less cute. Every day, every single day, make sure that child has something special of your time and attention. Don't let the other one, or ones, steal your attention, or the quiet one will become less and less sure of his or her place in your heart. You know how special he is, how priceless she is to your family. Make sure your quiet child knows, too.
