I've said this before, and I'll say it again, as I don't think it's said often enough. I think it's more essential to get the child working within the family unit and focus on that, than worry about individual time. You make these times when you get them. You go to the store, take one of them, then next time, take another. Make dinner together, do laundry together, etc. But I think it has been far more important to teach my fsons that they are part of a *family* they are not just individuals anymore. Gives them a lot more sense of belonging, and it's grounding for them.
