Sibling feeling left out because one child gets more appointments and attention

We spend a lot of time on therapy and school coordination for one child. The sibling is understanding but has started commenting that everything is about the other child. What small routines helped you protect one-to-one time for both children?

    Please do not feel you have to choose every therapy or support at once. We got better results when the child still had enough unstructured time to be a child. We learned to ask who is responsible for each support, not only what is written in policy. We made the change gradually rather than all at once.
