Talk about when he or she was a new baby. Children like to hear stories about when they were babies. Let your child know how much you like having a big child, too. When there is a new baby, older children may act babyish. They may talk babytalk, or drink from a bottle or wet their pants.
Babies get all the attention around here.
Talk about the many ways your child is growing. When children help, they feel special and needed. Let children know how important they are to the baby. Talk about times when the baby stopped crying or laughed because of something they did. Spend time with your older child.
