Jealousy is the common factor that will happen if your child will have a younger sibling. Altering or adjusting is a challenge process. It requires more patience. There are many ways or traditions we can prepare our firstborn for the arrival of a little brother or sister. We can reinforce his or her new role as big brother or sister by referring to your baby as “his little brother or sister” instead of “the new baby” or “mommy’s baby.” Linking or involving him or her in the preparation of baby’s arrival by allowing her help choose the baby’s name and coming home outfit, helping to decorate the nursery and helping to pack mom’s suitcase for the hospital. We can let him or her tag along on prenatal visits so he or she can hear the baby’s heartbeat or see images of the baby during the ultrasound. They can read books on becoming a big brother/sister or about the arrival of a new sibling.
