Often, young parents, thinking about adding to the family, begin to worry about possible difficulties in raising two kids at once. Especially if the age difference is not too big.
Instructions
Step 1
To prevent your baby from being jealous of a newborn brother or sister, prepare him for this event in advance. Tell us how he will help you bathe and feed your baby. How will you all walk together on the site. Explain that being an elder is prestigious and wonderful.
Step 2
Do not let the older child think that a newborn has taken his place. Be sure to find time to play your baby's favorite games, read a book, be alone with him while the youngest sleeps.
Step 3
Adhere to the same parenting methods with your spouse. Nothing confuses a child more than the different views of dad and mom on the same action. At the same time, if you do not allow something to the elder, do the same with the younger child. This will prevent conflicts between children and will not allow doubts about parental love.
Step 4
Do not allow the older child to constantly lead. Because this can lead to the development of complexes in the baby in the future. He will get used to obeying everything and will not be able to express his own opinion or make decisions on his own.
Step 5
Don't single out one child more than the other. Praise each toddler so that they feel the same love and care from their parents. Try not to utter phrases like: "You are older..". This can lead to a negative attitude of the older child towards the baby.
Step 6
Raise in children love and respect for each other. Explain that they are the closest and dearest people. This will allow you to build strong harmonious relationships in the family and save you from constant conflicts.
Step 7
Try to have, in addition to common things, each child has their own toys or books. After all, every person needs personal space and personal belongings.
