My biggest thing *now* that I need help with is....rebuilding that attachment with my older children that got lost. . .

*hug* That is one of the prime things this
UFP folder is for--helping those of us who have done things that have undermined our relationship with our children, reattach and rebuild.
One of the things that has been key with my older children is doing some of the things we do with younger children. Lots of physical touch, snuggling, cuddling, holding, etc. For our family, that means that while the boys are tucked in their own beds now, they are free to come climb in bed and cuddle with us if they wake in the night or early in morning. (Cosleeping isn't just for babies! *grin*) Lately, my Hubby has had work to do past my bedtime, so I'll carry a child into my bed to snuggle and sleep with me.
Hmmm. . . Why don't you start another thread on reattaching with older children?
