Make your child ready for sibling

Parenting is blessing which God gives every living being. Children become our world and we become their world when it comes to parenting and rearing them. Though parents and child share the strongest bond, no one can deny the fact that the bond between the siblings is ultimate.

  When you both are planning for your second child, you need to keep one thing in mind that your first child should be aware of this fact. Acceptance should be there in your first child when it comes to welcoming his or her sibling at home. You may feel that when the baby would arrive, your first child would welcome him or her. 

   But this is not going to happen if you don’t make him or her aware of the fact that he or she would be the elder child at home and from his or her parents to his or her  clothes and toys will be shared when that little bundle of joy would enter your life, your first child would feel insecure in future. You should inculcate these things very positively, so that your elder child would also feel happy to be called elder.

   Involve your child in this process effectively. Let him or her talk to your baby bump, let him or her decide the name he or she would like to give to their sibling. In this way if you work, it won’t be difficult for your first child to welcome his or her new sibling. And the most importantly, he or she won’t feel ignored and less important. Instead of feeling ignored, your first child would feel that he or she is going to have a friend in the form of sibling.

  You need to assure your first child that he or she would be always special for you through your actions. It is a bit challenging but it is as important as anything else when it comes to parenting and additional responsibilities. Have a happy parenting!
