Preparing Your Child For a New Sibling
February 14th, 2010Bringing home a younger sibling for your child is an exciting time. It can be very stressful as well. Parents are exhausted dealing with the new baby, who demands a lot of attention. For children, this is a time when jealousy rears its head. Your child is used to having you all to themselves, and now they are expected to share! Even worse, it seems as though they are supposed to like it.

It can’t play games, and it must be treated gently. This is no fun at all for big brothers and sisters. Here are some ways to prepare them for the new arrival.
