I'm looking for tips on how to manage individual attention with pre-school age kids, when the others are always wanting to interrupt and monopolize my attention. It's been hard to give them both something to do, and then focus on one at a time (even taking turns), because both of them desire constant feedback.

They are 7, 4, 2. My oldest goes to school, and my youngest used to nap. That was my window with the middle child, until she decided to outgrow naps. Now I need new strategies.
