Everyone has fears and insecurities. For a child, everything about the world is new and that can sometimes be pretty scary.
Children can begin to feel insecure after the arrival of a new sibling .
Talk with your child about what having a new baby in the family will mean and explain that you will always love them just as much. After you bring the baby home, allow time to spend alone with your child to avoid possible resentment of the new baby. Divorce or a death in the family can also make a child afraid of being abandoned. Even though you are probably going through your own grief and adjustments, do not shut your child out. Talking can help both of you sort through your emotions.
