Are you going to have another baby soon or just recently had one? Think about how it affects your other children. It's almost like you bringing home another wife to be loved just as much. It's crazy to think about it like that, but it's what kids perceive. Now they have to share time and love that used to be just for them. Do your best to help alleviate their fears. Here are some helpful tips: wrap up inexpensive gifts for the older child that can be given to her at opportune times after the baby is born. The attention that comes from the gift is usually going to be more important than the item itself. Also, if your older child seems to regress in her behavior, talk to her about all the advantages of being older and bigger. Make sure you show her the attention she needs. She'll try to get it one way or another.
