When my kids get older, it's going to be a challenge to make sure they're all treated differently, because as you pointed out, they all have different personalities. one of mine is happy to sit with me for 5 minutes a day during Diego, the other demands me all the time, the other one I haven't figured out yet as she's too young. It's an amazing journey with our little ones.
