About this listen

When you have more than one child, “equal attention” sounds good — but it doesn’t survive real life.

At different points in our kids’ lives, different kids need more from us. Academic struggles. Behavioral challenges. Mental or physical health issues. When that happens, focus shifts — not because we care more about one child, but because the need is heavier.

The real tension for fathers isn’t uneven attention.
It’s making sure the kids who aren’t the priority in that season never feel less important.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Why equal attention is an unrealistic standard in real families
  • Why uneven needs don’t mean favoritism
  • And how to think about priority without letting any child feel forgotten

This isn’t about parenting techniques or balancing time.
It’s about responsibility, awareness, and keeping connection intact — even in uneven seasons.
