Whats The Best Way!!!!!

Question

To prepare my 4 year old daughter for the arrival of her new little sister because she is already showing signs of jealousy and only wants to be with her dad i really need help im only 19

Answer 1

Make a big deal of how she can help you take care of her new baby. Help her to understand the new baby is hers too and not someone to replace her.

When you are with people who want to talk about the new baby, make sure your 4 yr old is also getting attention.  Get some small gifts so when someone gives you a gift for the baby, she gets a gift also. She doesn't need one every time but she does need to know she is still important.

Most importantly, make sure you and her father and other important people in her life spend time with her now, telling her that its exciting that a new baby is coming and the new baby will need a lot of care so she may not get as much attention but she will always be special and precious and loved as much as the new baby.

Answer 2

Just tell her how much fun she'll have being a big sister. You could tell her that she could help out and, after the baby is born, you could set out some alone time with her. I guess you could watch the baby for a while so the dad could spend time with the 4 year old and vice versa.

Answer 3

Buy her one of those cute shirts that say "I'm the big sister". It will make her feel proud and important. Also, look for children's books about being an older sibling to a new baby.There is one my daughter had about a mouse girl getting a new brother. It is very cute and funny. "Julius is the baby of the world." I think that is the title. Check on amazon.com

Answer 4

im also 19 and have a 16 month and 2 month old. makeher feel helpful and give he ways to help prepare for the baby, help make her feel she is important and you need her help. get her to help as much as you can with the baby and if you can get someone to watch bub to have som one on one time once the baby coms along would be good. good luck.
