I have five kids, all now adults.

If I had the chance to do things over, I'd pay more individual attention to the quieter kids. I had two very outgoing, extroverted kids, and one "medium" one, and two quieter, introverted kids. When you have lots of kids, "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" - that's pretty much how it was in our house. Not to say that I didn't reach out to the quieter ones - of course I did - but I should have paid more attention to them. By that I mean, not assuming that just because they're not saying something bothers them, nothing is bothering them. I should have been more attune to their moods.
